In this episode, we explore the significance of timber design being tied to the landscape and resources of the site on which it is built or manufactured, examining the opportunities and limitations of using local materials for local projects, and the manner in which global and local networks of material and craft might work together to produce more sustainable results. Asking the question how can international timber products support a rising interest in design and architecture projects that are responsive to their local context and immediate site? Featuring guests Viktoria Millentrup, BIG Architects, Seetal Solanki, Ma-tt-er and Rupert Oliver AHEC Environmental Policy Director.
