Timber-first development, sustainable street furniture and wilding college campuses
New Green Urbanist podcast episodes!
I’m delighted to share with you three new podcast episodes. Check them out below.
#117: (WILD) Wilding Campuses
A conversation about the 'Wilding Campuses' programme, led by Students Organising for Sustainability (SOS-UK). We talk about the practicalities of applying a 'wilding' approach on highly altered and designed landscapes on educational campuses.
#118: Sustainable Street Furniture for Joyful Public Spaces, with Furnitubes
a conversation with Catherine Barratt, Managing Director of Furnitubes. Furnitubes create modular street furniture that helps to bring communities together. In this episode we discuss how they are innovating with sustainable materials and manufacturing processes to create lower impact furniture at the same price.
#119: Timber-first Development, with Bywater Properties
A conversation with Theo Michell (COO) and Joe Jack Williams (Head of sustainability) at Bywater Properties. We talk about:
A timber-first approach to development
A case study of 'Paradise', a six-storey timber-led office building in London
How timber is becoming more mainstream in UK construction
Advice for architects and developers getting started with timber
One more thing…
I’ll be taking a break from the podcast for a little bit to work on some other projects and figure out where to take the pod next. Thanks for being on the journey with me.
