Everyone’s talking about biobased construction. But Editor-in-Chief Thomas van Belzen wants to see, smell, feel, and taste it. How do architects and builders use biobased materials, and what are the pros and cons? And above all: does it leave you wanting more?
Climate-Friendly Building
In episode 4 of the Biobased Tasting, we take a look at Delft, where what may well be the most climate-friendly building in the Netherlands was recently completed: Urban Woods. The material in the spotlight is GLT. Architect Tim Vermeend talks about his unique vision, the hurdles still to be overcome, and his one-of-a-kind experience. Chantal van Schaik, director of Holland Houtland, shares her candid opinion on the material. Is she generous with her stars, or not?
