    Ep1 - Mokena Makeka - Architect

    In our first episode, host Russell Beard speaks with architect Mokena Makeka, a leading voice in climate-positive urbanism, about a material that could help reshape the cities of the future: wood.   Can mass timber products from sustainably sourced wood really be lighter, safer and more resilient than we think? What does an architect see when he looks at a piece of wood? And will wood buildings have a place in the cities of the future?   Mokena challenges some of the most common assumptions about wood – from fire safety and earthquake resilience to the idea that concrete and steel are inherently more durable – and explains why sustainably sourced timber deserves a much bigger role in how we build.

    Wood You Believe It?

    Imagine using wood in clothes, as a replacement for concrete and steel in buildings, to make clothing, and even to produce biodegradable satellites. This isn’t science fiction; it’s a rapidly expanding reality in which wood has hundreds of new applications and can provide solutions to big challenges such as pollution and climate change. By championing responsibly produced wood, the Grow the Solution campaign shows that healthy, well-managed forests can both thrive and provide the renewable materials the world needs. Small everyday decisions add up to big climate benefits, and everyone can join the movement. By choosing wood, we can help grow a solution that builds a more sustainable future.Wood you believe a forest can change the world? _______The Grow the Solution campaign is the work of two Joint Initiatives of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests – the Forests Communicators Network and the Sustainable Wood for a Sustainable World initiative.
