I mean, the amount of energy that our buildings take to build, but also to run and to live in, is enormous. So we have a huge role to play to make these buildings, one, minimise the carbon footprint of the actual construction of the buildings, maximise the lifespan of the buildings and the interiors, and think about that sort of ongoing lifespan of the building."originalthinkers.com.au/fiona-duninLinks & Show Notes:FMD ArchitectsDaryl JacksonDaryl Jackson (University of Melbourne)John Wardle ArchitectsJohn Wardle Architects (Wikipedia)Tasmanian OakArticle: Tiara HouseTiara House (FMD)Fitzroy Gardens RotundaBustle House (FMD)Species: Black Heart SassafrasArticle: Different features in timber (veneer)Article: QC ChambersBenefits of timber in workspacesBiophilic DesignHydrowoodCentre for Sustainable Architecture With Wood (CSAW)Episode Sponsor:Tasmanian Timber
