Dickon Hayward, Material Works Architecture
Using Sustainable Ventures' London workspaces as a case study, this talk explores how 'lean design' can break the wasteful, energy-intensive refurbishment cycle and deliver affordable, long-term low-carbon solutions. By challenging aesthetic norms, limiting resource use, and embracing circular strategies – reclaimed materials, design for disassembly, and low-carbon products – it presents a scalable, future-ready model for sustainable workspace fit-out.
