About
Oana Taut is a researcher at the forefront of sustainable architecture and circular construction, with a primary focus on urban mining and resource reclamation. Her work challenges conventional scarcity-driven design paradigms by championing an "abundance mindset," redefining where and how raw and non-raw materials can be sourced within the built environment. Her most cited paper, "Urban mining. Scoping resources for circular construction" (2023, 6 citations), lays the groundwork for a transformative approach that treats cities as vast, untapped material repositories. Taut’s contributions are pivotal in bridging design practice with circular economy principles, offering actionable frameworks for architects and urban planners to reduce waste and promote regenerative building. While her citation count is still growing, her research is gaining traction among scholars and practitioners seeking to operationalize sustainability. By shifting the narrative from scarcity to abundance, Taut is helping to shape a future where construction is not just less harmful, but actively restorative—a vision that positions her as an emerging voice in the global push for circular cities.
