📢 The new episode of @wdo.org Next in Line: Design podcast — "Materials Matter" is now live! 🎙️

I had the pleasure of speaking with Francisco Garcia (E6PR) and Shashank Nimkar (Earth Tatva) on how they are reinventing everyday products, turning industry byproducts into sustainable innovations. 🌍✨

Great to visit a home retrofitted as part of the #HAPS initiative. We did not only get to learn about the great work being delivered by the Centre for a Low Carbon Built Environment, Cardiff University, but got inspired as we move forward in the delivery of our #TransformingHomes demo homes.

The Welsh School of Architecture #designresearch team has been leading Spring #design #workshops for Transforming Homes. These sessions aim to translate the collective knowledge developed into a catalogue of design solutions to transform 1920s–40s council-built #homes into better places to live.
