Theme: Natural materials in construction
-Living and renewable or durable and lasting.
The use of materials with long durability and minimal environmental impact is more important than ever. Hille Melbye Arkitekter is one of many firms striving to use natural, durable, and sustainable materials in their projects. Over the years, we have specialized in brick, but are increasingly incorporating timber constructions into new projects. Both materials are natural, durable, and can be renewed or reused. Unlike brick, which is durable, solid, and robust, timber is living, flexible, and renewable.
In her presentation, Kaja Melbye will showcase several projects the firm is working on and discuss what has influenced the choice of materials and construction methods.
