#76: Community-led, Circular, Green Architecture with Jan Kattein @ The Paper Garden

Jan Kattein is Director of Jan Kattein Architects, a studio that focuses on collaborative, sustainable and community-focused projects.

Some of they key points we discuss:Radically circular building with 60% reused materialsBuilt by 3000 volunteers - teaching skills and inspiring sustainabilityFlexible design approach to suit available materials rather than specific designSourcing timber from Epping Forest, LondonIs this the future of architecture?
