Cap Digital invites you to their event
About this event
Circ-Boost presents the Norwegian Pilot 4 that aims to demonstrate an entire circular building process “from demolition to construction” in the Arctic region of Norway by deploying leading construction technologies and solutions for the region.
The pilot includes several stages, namely, demolition, production of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) and their direct utilization in new construction, that enable different circular solutions developed by the pilot team that includes UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Museum Nord, the non-profit government-supported organization within the Norwegian national museum network, Lundhagem architects, an Oslo-based architectural studio, and Reno-Vest, the primary waste management company in Vesterålen.

Several of the projects have been awarded prizes and published in Norway and abroad. His inspiration comes from the surroundings, integration towards the landscape, exciting construction and lasting materials, with projects developed in close dialogue with the client. Erlend uses drawings, physical models, 3D BIM modelling, coding, analyses, renderings, VR and animation as required to visualize the projects. Recently, GaiaVesterålen has been his primary focus.
Brit Berntsen Reinsli started working in Reno-Vest in January 2024 and is head of the company’s department of sustainability and development.
