The Navigator, developed by the Digital Deconstruction project, is a digital tool designed to serve as a gateway for the entire building sector’s ecosystem of reuse and digital tool users. Its primary objective is to comprehensively gather all information related to the DDC program in an open-source logic. Therefore, it serves as a central reference, providing users with access to key data on the partners involved in the project, as well as the various pilot projects conducted.

The Navigator offers users a variety of content and resources. It provides access to deliverables, scientific publications, and other resources produced by the project’s partners. Additionally, it allows users to connect with an existing community through the GTB-Lab knowledge platform, facilitating information exchange and collaboration among reuse stakeholders. This feature creates an environment conducive to knowledge sharing and the implementation of joint projects.

This project was initiated to address several essential needs. Firstly, it aims to provide easy and centralized access to all information related to the DDC program, enabling users to quickly find the data they require. Secondly, the Navigator offers detailed educational content on the functioning of digital modules and the DDC platform, empowering users to understand how to optimize tool utilization and continue developing their technical skills even after the project’s conclusion. Thrirdly, the Navigator raises critical questions regarding economic models and the financial/environmental balance of reuse projects, contributing to in-depth reflection on these significant challenges and the search for sustainable solutions in transitioning towards a circular economy.
