Dismantling Regio Venlo Floriade 2012

The Floriade 2012 is one of the first major sustainable land developments project in the Netherlands inspired by the Cradle to Cradle® design philosophy. A set of principles inspired by Cradle to Cradle® as well as vision and mission statement were developed: the Floriade / Venlo Principles. About ninety percent of the development Floriade park was transferred to the future business park, Venlo Greenpark. Less than one percent of the FLoriade material had to pass through a down cycling process. One of the most interesting upcycling projects is the transformation of the terrace of the BeachClub and the wooden forest paths into garden furniture and wooden houses.
