— Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space

Circular Economy is a theoretical project that stages a city without ground.

Dozens of small row houses form a closed ring, suspended from the ceiling by fine threads. Each façade is carefully detailed—windows, doors, chimneys, peeling paint—but instead of resting on foundations, the houses terminate in a bundle of thin piles that never quite touch the floor.The title twists the usual sustainability slogan of circular economy: here, no material is actually recycled; what circulates is the image of housing itself—repeated, miniaturized, and kept permanently in motion. The work asks what happens when architecture is treated less as shelter and more as a commodity that must keep moving to exist.
