At the recent Built Environment Summit in London, we sat down with Andrew Waugh, co-founder of Waugh Thistleton Architects. Waugh Thistleton are eager proponents in making the case for engineered timber as the only realistic, environmentally friendly alternative to energy intensive steel and concrete to tackle our global housing shortage. Their landmark projects include Dalston Works in London, that was when it was built the largest Cross Laminated Timber Building in the world, and the Bushey Cemetery in Hertfordshire which was shortlisted for the 2018 Stirling Prize. Waugh Thistleton helped organise this Built Environment Summit to bring more interconnected and joined up dialogue across the construction industries as we together rise to the challenge of the climate emergency. To get the lowdown on Andrew’s anger with mushroom architecture listen on!
