In this webinar, Paul will explain how our selection of building materials has been and will remain a much more potent driver than we realise, for regeneration or collapse of our natural world and the life it sustains. He’ll cover three core materials:
Highlighting each of their climate and biodiversity impacts when specified and procured via business-as-usual. Design thinking and a knowledge base to support more ecologically and socially sensitive material selection will then be shared. Paul will pay particular attention to timber, the specification of which has been confused by environmental certifications and industry claims to it being intrinsically renewable and carbon sequestering.
Paul Haar
Paul Haar has long held passions for natural building materials, water and energy conservation, and community based building culture. His early experiences as an architect with this bent led him on a long and satisfying career path in design and construction practice, aimed at enriching rather than eroding the health of natural ecological and social systems. Our global climate, biodiversity and COVID emergencies now highlight the imperative of this approach.
