Can wood be a sustainable, viable building material in Ukraine at scale? Join us for a public lecture and discussion on 27 March!
Timber construction is an important factor in sustainable urban development. Using wood as a building material helps reduce the carbon footprint, increase energy efficiency, and conserve natural resources. In the Netherlands, for example, the conditions for large-scale timber construction have already been created, while in Ukraine, the sector is just starting to develop, although timber as a resource is widely available in Ukraine. In the lecture, we will look at how timber construction can become a driver of sustainable development and what steps are needed to scale it up in Ukraine.
At the lecture, we will discuss:🔹 The benefits and prospects of timber construction 🔹 Do Janne Vermeulen will present the experience of timber construction in the Netherlands🔹The potential of timber construction in Ukraine and the legal framework
The meeting will be moderated by architect and researcher Natalia Kozub and Ro3kvit project manager Lilet Breddels.
