Your speakers

Our speaker for our next meeting, James Mickelburgh from Jensen Hunt Design, will be sharing his insights on material choices in construction and their environmental impact. He will take a closer look at one of their own sustainable projects, designed and built with no concrete, cement, or steel, relying solely on natural and breathable materials. James will focus on rethinking material choices and their influence on a building’s environmental footprint, exploring non-traditional design processes, as well as waste reduction, local sourcing, and material availability.
