Alan Organschi & Emanuel Heisenberg: How to develop buildings to act as carbon sinks?

Traditional buildings made of steel and concrete emit huge amounts
of carbon dioxide. If we would use timber as mass material in
buildings, we could easily transform cities from being a
significant source of carbon emissions into a carbon storage system
functioning in healthy synergy with global forests. In this Lets
Talk Change edition, Alan Organschi, Director of the newly
inaugurated Yale University Building Project LAB and Director of
Innovation at the Bauhaus der Erde as well as Emanuel Heisenberg,
CEO of ecoworks, talk about how to achieve fundamental and systemic
changes in the construction and building sector in order to truly
mitigate climate change. What are your take aways? - What can
buildings do to solve the problems we created in earth? - How to
develop buildings as carbon sinks? - How to build without a
negative impact on the environment? - Why is Bhutan a best practice
example for transforming the building sector?
