 |  | | Circular Design and Architecture | | Celebrating manufacturers, designers and projects that raise the bar on ecological materials, processes and performance | | In this special edition of Azure, we dig deep into sustainability by focusing on circular design and architecture – that is, design and architecture dedicated to the full life cycle of products and buildings. We spend time with PearsonLloyd, the London, UK, duo working to create transformative collections with such brands as Arconas, Teknion and Lufthansa. And we feature case studies of architecture projects – from Studio Weave’s London library made with felled city trees to 3XN/GXN’s Sydney skyscraper that upcycles an existing tower – that reimagine green construction. | | | | | | | | In This Issue |  | | Eco-home Away from Home | | An Ontario vacation home aims for Passive House status with a bold, energy-saving form. | | Hospitality Delights | | An agritourism retreat, a water-inspired expresso bar, a vision for the future of leisure travel – other destinations, real and imagined, for rest and relaxation.
