Listen "#025 - Todd Jersey & Katy Reynolds: Tackling the Housing Crisis with Sustainable and Profitable Architecture"
Episode Synopsis
How can architecture help us pay back our ecological debt?
In this episode, I chat with Todd Jersey and Katy Reynolds, two pioneers in green architecture and sustainable building practices. Todd shares his journey from traditional building to creating eco-friendly designs, inspired by permaculture principles. Katy, a former investment banker, tells us how she transitioned to green homebuilding and founded Shibusa Systems to tackle the housing crisis with innovative, sustainable solutions.
Key Points:
Learn about ecological debt and why it's important to build with the earth in mind - and how it’ll even help you save money!
Find out how green buildings can be both affordable and profitable.
Understand the importance of optimizing every square millimeter of housing to achieve less than 5% waste, compared to over 30% in conventional construction.
Explore how algorithms help optimize the use of materials, minimizing waste and costs.
Learn about the benefits of entirely disassemblable homes, using fasteners and mechanical assembly instead of glue, making it easy to recycle parts.
