Abstract: Abstract This chapter linked the technological strategies fuelling the transition to the circular economy in building sector with the new visions and trajectories of European research. The aim is to highlight possible opportunities to further explore the issues addressed in the previous chapters for the benefit of our readers and the advancement of the discipline. Three topics were identified, which brought together the main theoretical and applicative aspects that were addressed. The first highlights the impact of disruptive technologies that sprawl within the building sector, driven by the overall sustainability target (Sect. 5.1). The second connects the Low-Tech approach in building design to the strategies for remanufacturing that are applied to the whole production processes, aimed at increasing their reversibility (Sect. 5.2), while the third topic focuses on the new requirements of the circular buildings (Sect. 5.3), making them particularly suitable in feeding an innovation dynamic within the sector centred on Low-Tech options.
