In this episode, we explore the process of constructing a house using a unique block system and the challenges faced along the way. From the use of robotics and CNC machines to the benefits and limitations of cork as a building material, the speaker shares their experience and insights. We also delve into the considerations of a circular economy, fire performance, and the use of timber in tall buildings. Join us as we dive into the world of innovative construction methods and sustainable design.
