Abstract In a trajectory towards a Circular Economy (CE), this paper develops a onto-epistemological position which is inherently tectonic and ecological advocating the implementation of a Circular Tectonic Ecology (CTE) to follow. While an actualization relatively of a CE and a CTE are problematic due to issues linked to global politics and economy (Laumann, Tambo 2018: 1) (Ritzen, Sandstrom 2017:11), the paper argues for an emphasis on a development of a critical tectonic theory (which is radically self-critical) as transitory stepping stone towards a potential future of a CE. By implementation of Dialectical Materialism (Slavoj Zizek), Speculative Realism (Graham Harman) and ecological theory (Timothy Morton), the paper argues for a tectonic theory which aims at critically dismantling the multitude of transcendental a prioi and axioms linked to architecture. The paper finally develops a circular model, acting as shift in perspective, and argues for a transposing of the design process thinking onto a 1:1 scale reality.
