#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. Back in September of 2023 I joined Jan at their project in south London called the Paper Garden, which is a educational building and garden space for the charity Global Generation. Some of they key points we discuss:

  • Radically circular building with 60% reused materials
  • Built by 3000 volunteers - teaching skills and inspiring sustainability
  • Flexible design approach to suit available materials rather than specific design
  • Sourcing timber from Epping Forest, London
  • Is this the future of architecture?

Giulia Mori joined me as co-host
