episode Stone: A commodity not a luxury: From spolia to stone bricks artwork

Stone: A commodity not a luxury: From spolia to stone bricks

Reimagining the future of stone as a utilitarian material; this talk will put stone centre stage and consider the concept that a brick can be a stone - and visa versa - and a stone can be an ashlar, with all of them a humble piece of rubble walling for the next century.  As ideas of circular economy and materials reuse become established in the lexicon of architectural language, the ancient practice of Spolia is rightly back in the spotlight. Reusing components from existing, soon-to-be-demolished, or already deconstructed structures significantly reduces the need for manufacturing new components, in turn reducing the carbon cost of the building. Shifting the status quo is vital to building more sustainably. The UK produces around 2 billion bricks a year which require high temperature kiln firing, considerably adding to CO2 emissions. Bricks are a familiar part of the UK landscape and often the go-to response by planners keen on replicating ‘context’ but a straightforward switch to natural stone bricks could be a game-changer for the future of sustainable construction.

30 Duke Street St James's: London's Largest Steel Reuse Project

GPE’s 30 Duke Street St James’s (formerly 180 Piccadilly) raises the bar for circular economy applications as London’s largest steel reuse project. The project is a striking eight-storey development where the majority of the structural frame is repurposed from another donor building. But it’s not just about steel. The project embraces material reuse beyond the frame, with its façade partially constructed from existing Portland stone, further reducing embodied carbon. 30 Duke Street St James’s is targeting BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, WELL Platinum and NABERS UK 5-star. Join the project team panel discussion to explore: * Unlocking the project’s opportunities and overcoming challenges * Scaling steel reuse across the industry * The future of low-carbon, circular construction Chairperson Louisa Treadwell, Associate - Elliott Wood [https://www.footprintplus.com/speakers/louisa-treadwell] Speakers Graham Longman, Architect - Make Architects [https://www.footprintplus.com/speakers/graham-longman] Jonathan Davis, Technical Director - William Hare Group [https://www.footprintplus.com/speakers/jonathan-davis] Gemima Walker, Associate Director - Elliott Wood [https://www.footprintplus.com/speakers/gemima-walker] Martin Quinn, Head of Project Delivery - GPE [https://www.footprintplus.com/speakers/martin-quinn]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
