Many people think circular economy is recycling or waste separation, but it is more. It is about sharing value and using resources better, forming the basis of a sharing economy. Design enables sharing. This exhibition explores why product design must change.

Mit Design die Sharing Society ermöglichen
Rent.Group
A power drill is used for just 15 minutes during its lifetime. More than 100 household items spend most of their lives in a basement. Across Germany’s 40 million households, hundreds of billions of euros in value sit unused. The circular economy is the key to sharing. Design makes it possible.

Blind Spot Einfamilienhaus
Andreas Hild und Valerie Kronauer, Technische Universität München TUM School of Engineering and Design Professur für Entwerfen, Umbau und Denkmalpflege our.house TUM-Forschungscluster Einfamilienhaus
Why is the most common form of housing rarely discussed as an architectural challenge – even though it shapes urban space, resource consumption and ideas about living? Drawing on the themes of the ‘Suburbia’ exhibition at the DAM, we ask: what do we know, what is missing, and how to develop?

Mit Design der Kreislaufwirtschaft zum Durchbruch verhelfen
Rytec Kompetenzzentrum für Kreislaufwirtschaft
In nature there is no waste. A fallen tree becomes fertile soil and feeds new life. Forests recycle nutrients and can thrive for thousands of years. Our economy built on make use and dispose is the only system that creates waste. A design flaw that can be corrected.

Mit Design den Konsum demokratisieren

Sharing can create more value than ownership. Traditional economics says sharing reduces what you have, like bread or gold. But knowledge, networks, and well used resources grow when shared. Access can exist even without ownership. That is the power of sharing through thoughtful design.
