When people work with circular materials, they don’t get to start with a blank canvas of unlimited options. But Latifa Alkhayat, a teaching fellow at the MIT School of Architecture, describes how creative constraints can inspire new directions. She talks with Ana Bendiek Laranjo and Catherine De Wolf from the CEA Lab at ETH Zurich about finding hands-on and bottom-up opportunities for creating the most impact for the afterlives of materials.
