    Maarten Gielen - There's a Void Somewhere Else

    The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week we bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident, but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We as designers have an opportunity to do better. In this episode I speak with Maarten Gielen. Martin is an award-winning, Brussels based designer, researcher, professor, and leading practitioner changing the way materials are used in architecture, construction, and engineering. His curated exhibitions, including the 2010 Belgian pavilion of the Venice biennale, the groundbreaking 'Progress' with Rem Koolhaus (2011) and 'Behind the Green Door' for the Oslo Architecture Triennale (2013), underscore his ability to provoke critical dialogue and inspire change within the industry. Maarten, along with Tristan Boniver and Lionel Devlieger, co-founded Rotor in 2006—a collaborative design practice with a specific focus on material flows. Originally conceived as a private yet 'activist' studio aimed at influencing policy and driving change in Brussels' material economy, Rotor has since expanded its impact through various publications, exhibitions, and lectures, contributing significantly to the broader industry. In 2014, Maarten co-initiated commercial spin-off: Rotor Deconstruction, which dismantles, salvages, and sells reused building materials. Here he acted as director, growing the company to around 25 employees, until late 2023 when he shifted his focus to new projects and processes.  His latest initiative, 'Halfwerk,' explores the potential for reusing sheet metal and other materials, challenging traditional notions of waste and promoting local value chains. Maarten's expertise extends far beyond mere practical considerations. He approaches architectural sustainability from a holistic perspective, examining entire systems and supply chains to understand the broader implications of construction materials. He asks us to consider construction material as an object, with the same rigor in which we should consider the void in the landscape from which materials are extracted. To consider the transportation, the storing, the fixing, and the materials at the end of its first considered life. He suggests that construction materials are cultural products whose value extends far beyond the technical.  At the heart of Maarten's work lies a deep interest in reimagining the organization of the built environment. His concern regarding the tremendous quantity of materials we barely use and quickly waste has led to his determination to challenge the status quo and adapt the conventional business model to facilitate material salvage, waste reduction, and the establishment of a circular economy.  Through our conversation, we explore pressing questions surrounding the infrastructure and actions needed to prioritize reuse as a viable alternative to virgin materials and we query what kind of industry we need to build to allow architects to specify second hand materials with the same ease as new materials. This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation This episode was recorded during a period of residency with the SIM Icelandic Arts Association in Reykjavik. Thank you so much for listening and thank you to our international guest Maarten Gielen of Halfwerk. Thank you for sharing your proposals relating to the new economic models in the material flow register of the building sector and to helping us consider the city as resource.

    Daniel Bell - Materials are Heavy, Ideas are Light

    The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week we bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident, but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We as designers have an opportunity to do better. In this episode I meet with Daniel Bell of Atelier Luma, based in the Camargue region in the South of France. Daniel graduated as an architect from the Glasgow Mackintosh School of Architecture and has since practiced as an Architect in France, Ireland, and the UK.  Since 2018 he has worked at Atelier LUMA; a design and research lab located in Arles. His role here is a slight deviation to the traditional role of an architect, yet he is often working with built space and materials. At Atelier Luma he has joined a team of designers, engineers, scientists, and experts from the fields of culture, craftsmanship, humanities, and social sciences and innovation, to explore the potential of non-extractivist, and often discredited, local materials. Their research subjects vary across areas including invasive plants, agricultural coproducts, algae, and industrial waste. Each project has a hyper local focus. I visited Atelier Luma back in June 2023 shortly following the opening of their new headquarters: Lot 8. Sited within a heritage park of 27 hectares, Lot 8 sits within a campus collection of architectures, with neighbours such as Frank Gehry and Annabelle Selldorf, and a series of historic railway industrial buildings dating from the 19th century. The site is now inhabited by functions including a modern art gallery, and a series of exhibition spaces. The Atelier adds a new function to the park; a semi-public and most fascinating research hub of bioregional design, operating out of a building or rather, one large prototype of what the Atelier researches and investigates. In Spring 2023, Lot 8 opened as a result of a three-year large-scale, experimental building project, designed to serve as a pilot program in the field of renovation. Designed by and for Atelier LUMA, it is the teams’ workplace. A research and prototyping space that consists of a biolab, wood, ceramics, textile and research workshops, office spaces, a dye house, a material testing lab, and a functional plant garden.  Le Magasin Électrique is built and equipped with the results of Atelier LUMA’s research, in collaboration with BC architects & studies and Assemble, London. From the coating of the façade to the crystal salt door handles. Structural elements such as walls and partitions were produced from waste earth and minerals, and agricultural coproducts. The acoustics and the finishing of the interiors were done with panels of sunflower fibres, rice straw, and soil from the bioregion. The terrazzo floor, bathroom tiles, stains, door handles, and light fixtures are the result of years of research into algae, salt, bioplastics, earth, and enamels in collaboration with local partners. In the following interview, Daniel and I discuss how the building was conceived as a pilot project for an architectural process celebrating craftmanship, collective experimentation, site specificity and the development of biomaterials. In this case the process is anchored in the Arles or Camargue bioregion and the designers tapped into a network of local and international expertise, in order to share acquired knowledge. We discuss the need to move from a globalised, extractive supply chain, towards regional ecosystems of materials that help regenerate the environment. How it is imperative for designers to question the way materials can be assembled, reassembled, or

    Nicolas Coeckelberghs - From Earth to Architecture

    The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week we bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident, but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We as designers have an opportunity to do better. Until recently, earthen construction methods were widespread globally, but in the 19th century industrial bricks and concrete revolutionized the construction landscape. This shift ushered in a new era where traditional earth building materials were supplanted by industrial alternatives, leading to a surge in housing production and widespread access to quality shelter. However, industrialization also brought drawbacks such as excessive material usage, pollution, and rising greenhouse gas emissions, particularly noticeable from the 1960s onward. Today, the construction sector bears a heavy environmental burden, contributing significantly to CO₂ emissions, raw material consumption, air pollution, and waste generation. Nonetheless, there is vast potential for the industry to operate more sustainably by incorporating proven materials from our past.  Joining us in this episode is Nicholas Coeckelberghs of BC architects, Brussels, an architect dedicated to implementing these changes. Nicholas is an architect and co-founder of hybrid practice, designing and undertaking "acts of building" towards systemic change in the construction sector. BC stands for Brussels Cooperation and points to how BC grew - embedded within place and people. They operate through 3 legal entities registered in Belgium; BC architects (a design studio), BC studies (a non-profit education laboratory), and BC materials (a material production cooperative). BC strive for bioregional, low-tech, circular, beautiful, and inclusive design. They work with their minds and hands, undertaking activities such as community organisation, material production, contracting, teaching, and prototyping. I was lucky enough to visit the workshop back in June 2023. I turned up with my audio interview equipment but somehow ended up elbow-deep in clay and aggregate joining one of the team’s iconic earth construction workshops. This is an example of the enthusiasm and out-of-the-box thinking of the BC crew.  Nicholas and I spoke about how the kind of change that is needed to the construction industry is a cultural one. And how transition needs to be learned as a practice. BC has identified that it takes time for construction communities to imbibe certain kinds of knowledge — knowledge more often accrued through learning by doing, and by collaborating. A kind of knowledge that arises from an act of ‘getting close’ to a material or a method, through processes of trial and error. BC Materials is not a normal material production company The studio and workshop operate on a Brussels wasteland in a fully demountable and circular production hall, which can be transported to other locations in the Brussels region. It is governed as a cooperative of workers and other interested parties, reflecting its aim to achieve broad and lasting impact in the construction sector. They do this by building a community and creating capacity around earth construction, and one which does not aim for the fastest possible sale of building materials or for the highest possible profit margins. BC negotiates the balance between a commercial activity and a societal mission and aims to show, and to implement, strategies for a proper transitioning of our construction sector to a culture of local, circular, almost CO2-neutral construction in between craftsmanship and industry. I eventually go

    Victor Meesters - Renewal in Remnants & End of Life Innovations

    The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week we bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident, but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We as designers have an opportunity to do better. The built environment sector, notorious for its resource consumption and waste generation, faces a pivotal moment. In a world where 'away' is a luxury we can no longer afford, the linear economy's destructive ‘Take, Make, and Throw Away’ model demands reconsideration and urgent action. In this episode, I speak with Victor Meesters, a Paris-based architect working with the Belgian collective Rotor. Since 2005, Rotor has operated as a multidisciplinary group of architects, designers, and other professionals interested in the processes that shape a building. Specifically, they are interested in the flow and transit of materials in the industrial and construction sector and the industry’s relationship to resources, waste, use and reuse.  Their research is disseminated through publications, critical writing, workshops, and conferences. And they work with the expanded construction industry to produce exhibitions, books, economic models, and policy proposals.  On a practical level, they work to combine their research with the design and realization of architectural projects, coordinating large-scale dismantling operations of reusable construction elements and collaborating on architectural projects. Since 2014 their commercial spin off: Rotor DC ,or deconstruction, has been an active arm of the studio, which oversees deconstruction projects in end-of-life buildings with a view to finding them a new use. In practice, the team goes into buildings slated for demolition and sells off parts of those buildings. It documents building elements, creates a catalogue of the items, estimates how much it would cost to salvage the materials, and delivers them directly to the client. At the conception of the business, Rotor DC almost exclusively sold materials dismantled by its own workers, however the shop now also trades materials from several other suppliers such as demolition contractors and real estate companies. Back in June 2023, I got to explore the salvage yard and the store houses which surround the offices of Rotor and Rotor DC. They are based within the urban setting of Brussels. A tactical metropolitan locale, working with the studio’s goals to become a central part of a regional ecosystem for large scale reuse. As I walked through the ‘house of doors’, past the neat piles of salvaged stone, and through the aisles of plumbing fixtures, it was easy to understand the convenience and appeal of the organisation to ‘mum and dad’ renovators, to other architectural studios, or to developers alike. The business is proud to announce that many of the stocked materials are cheaper than new for the same quality. Some materials may be equally expensive as new, but come with a great story, a deep patina or simply a clear conscience. And then, from time to time, they offer pieces or materials that were conceived by renowned designers, created by skilled craftsmen, or made using technologies now out of reach. On the day of my visit, there were pieces of a gothic cathedral from Antwerp available for someone to snap up, whilst later in the week I saw some rare and well-kept mid-century desks by an iconic local designer. These pieces are priced a bit higher, but Rotor notes their hope that the economies made with the more generic materials help bring them in reach of the many. In my conversation today, I speak with Vi

    Floris Schiferli - Loops & Circles: Unravelling Material Flows

    The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week we bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident, but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better. In today’s episode I speak with Floris Schiferli of SuperUse Studios, Rotterdam. Superuse Studios is an international architecture collective for circular and sustainable design. In their office, a design is not considered as the beginning of a linear process, but rather: A phase in a continuous cycle of creation and recreation, use and reuse. They have applied several strategies to make sustainable architecture with reclaimed materials. And have a wonderful and delightful variety of projects, including fit-outs, playgrounds, commercial offices and social housing. SuperUse’s is driven by a deep-rooted belief in transforming waste into valuable resources.  Their work pioneers ideas about moving beyond the "green economy" where a commercial enterprise is organised according to ecological principles and the waste streams of one business becomes the source of raw materials for another.  This pioneering venture has garnered widespread recognition for its groundbreaking work in waste architecture and circular design, earning them the distinguished ARC 21 OEUVRE award in 2021. The firms design process works to rethink the functionality of a ‘thing’ and to understand how it could perform a new function once it serves its initial purpose. SuperUse has distilled this process into 16 different flows that enter and exit buildings and cities. Each project begins by mapping these flows and then examining where the flows interconnect.  We were lucky enough to spend time with Floris back in July 2023, where he gave us an insight into this incredible economy of the future. This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, and made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation. This episode was recorded during a period of residency with the Danish Arts Association, in Copenhagen.

    Siddharth Hande - Rethinking resources: The True Value of 'Waste'

    The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week we bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident, but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We as designers have an opportunity to do better. Going from a linear to a circular mindset requires a huge transformation in the built environment and can only be successful with an innovative approach and through partnerships for change. In this episode I meet with an individual who offers both and operates at the periphery of the built industry. Siddharth Hande a Data Scientist and Social Entrepreneur and is founder and CEO of Kabadiwalla Connect. His organisation is working to transform the informal waste supply-chain in cities in the Global South, including his own hometown of Chennai, India. His location and subject of investigation might appear foreign at first, both geographically and in its analysis of industry not specific to architecture. But Sid is considering the circular economic paradigm from a global perspective, and is proving that circular solutions based on data do have an application to a much boarder context. Sid studied in Australia, at my university no less. But I first crossed paths with Sid at the UIA international Congress of Architecture in Copenhagen in July 2023 when I saw a presentation Sid gave on the Circular Economic perspectives and data-driven social change. In our conversation today, we discuss what this fascinating organisation is doing in Asia, and how he is spreading the word abroad. I learned about the current informal waste supply-chain in cities such as Chennai.  And how Kabadiwala Connect is integrating informal actors into the formal waste management system; to deliver low-cost and low-carbon, waste management solutions that cities in the Global South need to support their growing economies and populations. This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation. This episode was recorded during a period of residency with the Danish Arts Association in Copenhagen. Thank you so much for listening and thank you to our international guest Siddharth Hande of Kabadiwala Connect. Thank you for identifying how bottom-up systems can be a success and how a city might leverage existing informal infrastructure and urban actors into an innovative movement.  Let’s watch this space and we look forward to speaking with you again in the future.

    Lene Brix - Circular economic perspectives: Data-driven Social change

    The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week, we will bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better. The larger and more complex the world becomes, the better architecture is needed. Architecture can no longer be satisfied with uniting form and function. It must address and embrace a much larger number of considerations from aesthetics, to function, to climate, health and energy. At the same time, the project's finances, law and time must be respected. In this episode we speak with Lene Damsbo Brix of Matter by Brix, and founder and partner of Circle Bank. A talented and driven Copenhagen – based force; Lene is grappling with these conundrums.  Lene is an architect by training with over 25 years of experience in the architectural and construction sector, including working at a number of well-known practices which now are celebrated for their design agenda revolving around circularity. But after years at the desk, Lene has stepped away from the tools to focus on systems and process’s that can begin to help with the industry’s transition toward circularity.  Today Lene and I discuss the Circle Bank project and it’s important goals in creating a digital platform that integrates new knowledge through the process of scanning, demolition, material handling and architectural design. We dive into the detail of the tool and platform explore the grand ambition of the organisation: that By 2030, circular construction has outcompeted linear construction. This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, and made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation. This episode was recorded during a period of residency with the Danish Arts Association in Copenhagen. Thank you so much for listening and thank you to our international guest Lene Brix for your discussion and leadership in moulding our architectural technologies and systems towards a circular future. We join you in dreaming that it is only a matter of time before the circular economy becomes competitive with the standard linear model of construction. Let’s watch this space and we look forward to speaking with you again in the future.

    Peter Vangsbo - Decarbonising our Cities: A Roadmap to Reduction

    The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week we bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident, but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We as designers have an opportunity to do better. The construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings account for almost 30% of the globe’s carbon emissions and 40% of global energy consumption. This current way of practice is unacceptable, unsustainable, and misaligned with climate reduction targets. Our current model of architecture makes these problems worse.  However, it also gives the architectural community a huge opportunity for impact and with a significant portion of new construction taking place in urban environments, cities have a role to play in encouraging sustainable construction methods and creating a market demand for low-carbon and bio-based materials. Enter this week’s guest; Peter Vangsbo, Associate Director for Climate and Sustainable Services at Arup. Peter leads the Circular Cities Services the Arup Copenhagen office. As part of the Nordic leadership team, he provides deep expertise in the areas of circular systems, decarbonisation, resilience, and climate change.  His home city of Copenhagen is a locale often touted as being a hotbed of progressive, sustainable thinking, and of wide-spread design understanding and appreciation. This is something I saw and experienced first-hand during my visit, where an average apartment was just as likely to feature an PH5 Henningsen lamp as they are an Ikea piece. It’s a city where city residents can swim in the harbour within the centre of the city, and visit, hike up or even ski down the envelope of the infrastructure facility that processes their household waste (Google CopenHill by BIG if you don’t know what I am talking about). The urban setting of Copenhagen is like no other. Peter has experience working on large urban and infrastructure projects and has experienced success in championing low-carbon construction, efficient reuse of resources, and the specification of biobased materials. I was interested in speaking with Peter to understand when working on large-scale and vital city infrastructure, how public and private sectors can interact and how he has managed to focus conversations and processes around these green and self-proclaimed ‘radical’ initiatives. We discuss aspects of business model innovation, finance and funding, governance and policy, locality-based sustainability goals, and how to use data to prove the benefit of sustainability against the feasibility targets so often aimed for in business.  We query the market barriers to accelerating the use of biobased building materials and how low-carbon construction needs to invest more in alternative building materials and we call upon industry leaders and city policymakers to make tackling embodied emissions a priority.
