Transformation Capacity Tool

Adaptation and further development of the Transformation Capacity Tool to the Brussels construction context, commissioned by Brussels Environment. Later also further developed for GRO 2025.

Adaptation of the assessment criteria of the Transformation Capacity Tool to the context of the Brussels-Capital Region, commissioned by Brussels Environment. Internal research at Archipelago showed that the tool, developed within the BAMB2020 research project, has strong potential but does not sufficiently match Belgian construction practice. In this commission, the tool was adjusted accordingly and further developed with additional typologies. In a subsequent commission, it was further refined to form the basis of the CIRC 2 Spatial Adaptability criterion in GRO 2025.
