Building stock characterisation and circularity aspects as factors in material output valuation. University of Southern Denmark.

Originally from northern Germany, Antonia Klipp relocated to Hamburg after six years of study in Aachen. Her lifelong passion for ballet, which began at age eight, underscores her dedication to sport and physical activity. Weekends often find her running along Hamburg’s Außenalster or immersed in a good book, both serving as vital stress relievers. Her interest in cities and real estate stems from a recognition of their profound impact on quality of life. With increasing urbanization, the urgent need for sustainable urban transformation fuels her enthusiasm for circular cities. Her professional background includes consulting at PwC Germany, where she contributed to major sustainable infrastructure projects. Academically, she holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Civil Engineering from RWTH Aachen University, with exchange semesters in Sheffield and Vancouver. Her master’s thesis focused on circular business models for modular construction. She intends to pursue a PhD centered on sustainability in the built environment, aiming to apply her consulting experience to address critical challenges. A particular interest lies in re-evaluating and repurposing existing buildings, aligning with her commitment to a circular economy. She sees QuiVal as an ideal platform to assess the true value of the building stock by incorporating social and environmental factors into real estate valuation. The program’s academic network offers a unique opportunity for collaboration and the consolidation of scientific findings, essential for navigating the complexities of real estate valuation. She believes that, within QuiVal, the perception of real estate value can be collectively transformed.
