Events
Meredith Moore - Deconstruction + The Circular Economy
Join us for our upcoming Grand Valley Society of Architects talk by Meredith Moore on Thursday, May 28th, from 6-7pm.
Meredith Moore is the founder of Ouroboros Deconstruction, a Toronto-based company working to recover and rehome building materials before they become waste. With over 30 projects completed and a 90% landfill diversion rate, her work spans salvage audits, hands-on deconstruction, and the development of local reuse systems that keep quality materials in circulation. She also leads Ouroboros Salvage, a registered charity focused on material recovery and community engagement. An interior designer by trade, Meredith previously served as a founding director of the Healthy Materials Library at Parsons School of Design, working to make material health information more accessible across the design and construction industries. She brings that same orientation to her work in Toronto: treating buildings as collections of materials worth understanding, preserving, and passing on, and making deconstruction a practical, valued part of how the city builds and rebuilds.
