Today at the congress, top level speakers such as the Danish architect Lone Wiggers (C.F. Møller Architects), who has worked on a wide range of projects, including both new buildings and conversion and restoration of older buildings and who has headed the architectural committee for the cultural canon of the Danish Ministry of Culture and been involved in the Special Building Inspection Board for the Cultural Heritage Board since 2003. “Wood in construction is a smart and cost-effective way to advance CO2 conservation; through integrated design we improve the lives of people and the planet,” has affirmed.
Sheila Blanco and Iñaki Del Prim (Blancodelprim Arquitectura Ecopasiva), who have been committed to wood construction in their systems since 2005 and who have specialised in the Passivhaus standard, practicing architecture in a context of decarbonisation, both in the use phase and in the manufacture and construction of buildings. “In addition to energy efficiency criteria, we also apply materiality. The thermal inertia of wood helps to improve, for example, environmental humidity and general human comfort. It provides sensory indoor atmospheres,” has stated.
Maria Barcina Roda, founder of bxd arquitectura, today gave her vision of geometry, materiality and systematisation at Egurtek. “Our architecture follows these precepts, it is very measured”, she explained. In recent years, the number of wood projects he has worked on has increased considerably. “It is to be welcomed that the Catalan administration is supporting projects in wood”, he pointed out.
Jonathan Tuckey (Jonathan Tuckey Design), British architect and advocate of the reconstruction and reuse of old buildings through the elegant and efficient use of wood: “I’m more interested in using emotions to create the spaces with wood with the goal of inspiring the people who use them, that’s my real strength in construction”.
