Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew waugh

As timber products enter new markets, there are naturally going to be moments with teething pains alongside moments of innovation that the world hasn't seen before. Since 2014 when Andrew Waugh and the project team drove Stadthaus, the world's first mid-rise mass timber building that unlocked the new market we know today. Since then, there has been a variety of hurdles that have popped their head up and in the midst of being overcome to take the industry forward. As always we enjoy learning from the leaders from around the world and not many more fun to speak to than Andrew Waugh! 

Andrew Waugh is an architect with a passion for using sustainable materials in construction projects. His practice, Waugh Thistleton Architects, is a London based architectural practice producing thoughtful and sustainable projects both locally and internationally. The practice is a world leader in engineered timber and pioneer in the field of tall timber buildings. Of particular renown is the Black & White building in London that has been short listed for a RIBA London Award in 2024. The build was described by RIBA journal as 'a major step forward for the development and construction industry' and is the tallest engineered timber office building in central London.In 2023, Waugh Thistleton were named Architect of the Year in AJ Architecture Awards 2023. The Architect's Journal recognised the practise for their long standing advocacy for timber saying that 'In the face of the climate crisis, Waugh Thistleton is a worthy winner for its ability to work within the constraints of very challenging policy yet create cutting-edge, sustainable architecture. Not only that, it is also prompting the whole industry to raise its game.'In this podcast, Andrew explains the different types of engineered timber and how some have superior structural strength while others have the mass required to offer superior acoustic performance. The choice of materials, as he outlines, is determined by usefulness, cost and how they fit into an overall objective of using as few materials as possible.! Andrew's passion for the use of sustainable materials shines through as he explains how the wood used is sourced from forests planted with biodiversity in mind. The forests are not monoculture forests, they are planted with FSC of PEFC licences, and the harvest used for producing construction materials is a long way short of the overall capacity of the forests to produce sustainable timber.From a biophilic design perspective, Andew details some of the many health and well-being benefits of using wood in the built environment. The better acoustics, the hydroscopic nature of wood creating better air quality and the calming properties of sawn timber are among the benefits discussed. He also describes how the external wood design, creates Solar shading on the building which reduces energy use for heating and cooling by about a third.Talking of the Black and White building, Andrew says:“IIt is important for us to ensure that this move towards low carbon construction, low carbon architecture is not a peripheral occupation. It is not just for birdwatching centres, and National Trust museums, it has to be mainstream. The entire building, which was built for a commercial company, Blackstone, is above the ground floor slab made of timber. So, it's timber staircases, timber, lift shafts, timber beams, columns, floor slabs, external wall curtain walling is timber, and the external cladding is timber as well. A completely timber building. It was built very quickly in 83 weeks. So very fast construction. It was cost equivalent to concrete. We were obliged to track the cost of the building all the way to tender with the main contractor against a concrete equivalent building and we were able to demonstrate that it was cost equivalent. So fast, inexpensive, and letting extremely well - the client's very happy, which is really nice.”Each piece of timber has a QR code, so it can be placed exactly into place. So it's not only fast but also quiet and clean. Put that against the usual cement trucks and building site cacophony. In fact the whole building took only 70 deliveriesThe overriding message from Andrew's advocacy of sustainable building, using the example of the Black and White building, is that using these technologies and approaches is a positive advance in construction with myriad benefits. It is no longer necessary to wear a metaphorical hair shirt to build in a way that is sympathetic to the environment. Fast, quiet and quick construction of modern buildings filled with biophilic design is the route to happy owners and happy occupants.

Many architects agree that there are advantages to building in mass timber. Trees bind carbon, wooden buildings have shorter construction time, and timber offers superior insulation. So what's impeding the material's widespread adoption? In this episode we explore if mass timber can be a game changer for the industry. We speak with Andrew Waugh from Waugh Thistleton Architects, UK, whose projects have included Murray Grove, the world's first all- timber residential tower. Andrew is an architect specializing in mass timber, and is working on projects all over the world. We also talk to Dean Lewis, Director of Mass Timber and Prefabrication with Skanska in the USA. Dean is responsible for the company's work on prefabrication and mass timber projects across the USA, and he speaks warmly about our work on Portland International Airport's innovative curved timber roof using locally sourced materials . This episode's guests:     Andrew Waugh, a founding director of the British firm Waugh Thistleton Architects, UK. Dean Lewis, Director of Mass Timber and Prefabrication, Skanska, Seattle, USA.

Episode 46. AJ Climate Champions with Hattie Hartman and George Morgan. Andrew Waugh explains how building with timber can address industry transformation at scale. ‘I want to transform the whole industry,' says Waugh, founding director of Waugh Thistleton which was recently named Practice of the Year at the AJ Architecture Awards. In this episode Waugh explains why tall buildings have no place in sustainable cities of the future; how building housing with timber can reduce its carbon burden by as much as 75%; and why we should stop building basements (they are up to five times as carbon intensive as upper floors). Waugh advocates building with timber primarily as a low-carbon alternative to concrete and steel, rather than for aesthetic reasons. He shares recent research that clarifies end-of-life alternatives for timber that are not incineration or landfill. He makes it clear that current subsidies that encourage burning of timber for biomass must be revamped to support use of UK-grown timber for construction. This episode was recorded the day after Waugh toured co-hosts Hattie and George through Waugh Thistleton's recently completed Black & White Building in Shoreditch. The building is nearly all timber: structure, core, floors, cladding and brise-soleils. Waugh describes where the timber was sourced and that the transport footprint of timber is a relatively minor consideration. Finally, Waugh explains why his practice recently withdrew from Architects Declare. For show notes and to catch up on all AJ Climate Champions episodes, click here.

Could wood be the key to building more sustainable cities? In this episode of Create Tomorrow, architect Andrew Waugh and WGSN's Editorial Director Bethan Ryder explore the power of engineered timber and how it might help us to build a better future for people and the planet. Andrew Waugh is co-founder with Anthony Thistleton of British architecture practice Waugh Thistleton, which has completed a total of 30 projects built with cross-laminated timber (CLT) in the UK and France. CLT is a super-strong construction material made from layers of kiln-dried dimensional lumber, which are oriented at right angles to one another and then glued to form structural panels. The conversation looks at how low-carbon cities could be built from CLT; the financial and wellness benefits of timber buildings and biophilia as opposed to concrete ‘cast caves'; the need for more diversity in architecture; and how AI will impact the industry. Plus, we hear the story of Waugh Thistleton's first timber build in south London back in 2003. Andrew and Bethan wrap up by talking about the need for more diversity within the architecture profession and a winning suggestion for the UK's Houses of Parliament.

Andrew is a Founding Director of Waugh Thistleton Architects, a practice dedicated to delivering beautiful buildings and places that acknowledge their effect on the environment. He is a world-renowned spokesperson for low impact architecture and innovative construction, and lobbies and lectures internationally, communicating the urgent need for change to mitigate the climate crisis. A pivotal player in the global shift towards renewable, bio-based materials, Andrew's innovative approach to design has been acknowledged by many awards including The RIBA President's Award for Research and a Stirling Prize nomination in 2018. The practice is currently engaged on both research and design projects throughout Europe and North America.

To kick off this bonus FOOTPRINT+ episode, Pete the Builder spoke to Andrew Waugh about using timber in constructionAndrew Waugh, Waugh Thistleton ArchitectsAndrew is a founding director of Waugh Thistleton Architects, an architecture practice dedicated to designing buildings and places of the highest architectural quality that acknowledge their impact on the environment. “…for the last 20 years, we've become increasingly fascinated, even slightly obsessed with the opportunities for building in timber for designing beautiful buildings in timber.” Next up, Steve Randall spoke to Angela Crowther about repurposing existing buildingsAngela Crowther is an Associate Director at Arup. She was a keynote speaker at the event. Her talk was entitled Repurposing existing buildings to save the embodied carbon. Modernising assets to make them more energy-efficient can be done in various ways. For example, one could choose the retrofitting option to make a building fit for purpose for the future. “The opportunity to immediately save 50% of our carbon budget by protecting and celebrating and reusing what we have already built in the past into the future, rather than starting again.” Peter the Builder spoke to Ann-Marie Fallon of Architype about PassivhausAnn-Marie Fallon is an Associate Director and CEPH Designer at Architype. She was a keynote speaker at the event. Her talk was entitled Is Passivhaus the answer?  “My context from working with Passivhaus buildings for the last 13 years is that it's become a bit of a dirty word. You know, clients are afraid of it, design teams don't want to touch it, contractors are nervous of building.” Pete the Builder spoke to Councillor Samer Bagaeen about the government's role in achieving Net-ZeroSamer Bagaeen is a member of the Brighton & Hove City Council. With a background in the built environment, Samer is a chartered town planner and a chartered surveyor.Samer believes that achieving Net-Zero ultimately comes down to what local governments and councils in the cities do. He does however acknowledge that there are constraints, the biggest one being money. Despite these constraints, he believes that governments need to be more ambitious in their policies and the delivery of these policies.“You need the bankers to step out, you need central government to kind of be more ambitious in their policies and the delivery, so it's a collective effort”Pete the Builder spoke to Courtney MacDougall of Vattenfall about educating people on low carbon solutions.Courtney MacDougall is a project engineer for Vattenfall. Working with the wider project team, she provides technical advice and steers the project through the development and delivery stages. “So it's really that education piece that you don't need to have a boiler within your house or in your flat, you can have a heat pump” Next up, Pete the Builder spoke to Dan Epstein about using solar energy. Dan Epstein is a sustainability leader for Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC). He was a chairperson at the event.  This bonus episode has a number of other episodes. to read the full line-up and information head over to Constructive Voices Episode 37.

At the recent Built Environment Summit in London, we sat down with Andrew Waugh, co-founder of Waugh Thistleton Architects. Waugh Thistleton are eager proponents in making the case for engineered timber as the only realistic, environmentally friendly alternative to energy intensive steel and concrete to tackle our global housing shortage. Their landmark projects include Dalston Works in London, that was when it was built the largest Cross Laminated Timber Building in the world, and the Bushey Cemetery in Hertfordshire which was shortlisted for the 2018 Stirling Prize. Waugh Thistleton helped organise this Built Environment Summit to bring more interconnected and joined up dialogue across the construction industries as we together rise to the challenge of the climate emergency. To get the lowdown on Andrew's anger with mushroom architecture listen on!

In this week's episode, speaking ahead of the Wood for Good conference, which runs alongside COP26 next week, Andrew Waugh – co-founder of Waugh Thistleton Architects – said managing homegrown timber resources is critical to supporting demand to help the construction sector adopt sustainable materials. Terroir has designed a mass timber office building in Launceston that is aiming to become “the most sustainable and carbon positive office development in Tasmania.” A creative design team lead by UNStudio and Cox Architecture on BEULAH's "Green Spine" development in Southbank, Melbourne.

In this episode,  the entire team at the Mass Timber Construction Journal, we would like to say thank you to all the people who have supported us in achieving this amazing milestone - 14k followers. Metsä Wood and its partners have designed a hybrid sandwich wall element which will renew offsite construction. The innovation combines concrete with Kerto® LVL (laminated veneer lumber). Rules restricting the use of wood in UK buildings are hampering the switch to low-carbon building methods, according to timber architecture expert Andrew Waugh. Nonprofit Matt's Place Foundation and a group of area businesses are looking to ease that financial burden by building an eco-friendly, state-of-the-art, interactive “smart home” designed specifically for ALS patients and their families to live in while coping with the disease. Redcar Properties, the developer behind the new project at 843 N. Spring Street, is building a five-story structure 120,000 square feet of offices for rent above approximately 7,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and subterranean parking for 141 vehicles. The New York City Council has approved the use of mass timber for the construction of buildings of up to 85 feet tall in the city. Lendlease has now completed the switch to 100 per cent renewable electricity supply across all of its projects, assets and offices in Europe.

In the latest episode of Material Matters with Grant Gibson architect Andrew Waugh, co-founder of award-winning practice Waugh Thistleton, discusses why he decided to design tall buildings out of wood – or cross-laminated timber to be precise. In a wide-ranging conversation he lays out in no uncertain terms the issues the construction industry faces over sustainability, what it needs to do to avoid environmental calamity, and how CLT can provide some of the answers. En route he touches on the perceptions of the material and worries around wooden buildings post-Grenfell.Not only that but he also explains how growing up in Milton Keynes led to his fascination with cars (he’s the proud owner of an electric one now folks); ponders on why he was such a lousy student; unpicks the influence British Library architect Sandy Wilson had on his career; and remembers what it was like designing hyper-fashionable bars and clubs in Shoreditch during the nineties, while finding time to hang out with a generation of artists that became known as the YBAs. There’s some important stuff in here, it’s well worth a listen.

Exploring the quiet virtues of timber, discuss bin stores, clubs, artists and bringing up kids in Hoxton – and the need for a construction revolution with Andrew Waugh and Anthony Thistleton. Presenter: Eleanor Young, RIBA Journal

Andrew Waugh | Founder, Waugh Thistleton Architects What is Cross-laminated timber and is it really a viable alternative to building in concrete and steel? We meet the man pioneering its use in major development projects across the UK.

Andrew Waugh is the founding director of Waugh Thistleton Architects, a world leading architectural practice in the use of cross-laminated timber. He was the pioneer for CLT, with Stadhaus in 2008 and the architect for the worlds largest CLT project, Dalston Lane completed in 2017.   In this interview with Andrew we: The life cycle of CLT, including the carbon sequestration of CO2 within CLT and it's role in tackling climate change in the coming decade and how to deal with panels at the end of life How architects can draw inspiration from the pioneers of architects in 1920, who grew up with low density timber framing and had the vision of how reinforced concrete could change how buildings look like - in a similar way, architects today need to have the vision to change what massive timber buildings look like How the construction industry is lacking behind others and why timber is the disruption the industry needs   I was speaking with Andrew in the midst of the World Conference of Timber Engineering, of which he was keynote. It was recorded in the lobby of his hotel, so you can expect a bit of background noise.

Andrew Waugh is a founding director of Waugh Thistleton Architects. “We have climate change […] this issue bigger than anything else that’s ever faced us, and the fact that the vast majority of architects are not discussing it, confronting it, engaging with it, to me seems insane. It seems to me that this could be the end of the idea of architects unless we engage with this issue.”

Nathan is an architect, transport planner, software engineer and entrepreneur. Having worked for many years as an architect specialising in sustainable transit-oriented developments, Nathan became interested in how new transportation technologies could positively influence urban design. This led him to work on planning and design stages of urban-scale Automated Transit Networks, before launching Podaris to tackle the issue of collaboration. There are several tools aiming to act as the single source of truth in construction projects (for example, BIM level 4) but creating a single model that accommodates all the needs of planners, economists and engineers needs enormous complexity. At the heart of Nathan’s ethos is ensuring that the Podaris design is sufficiently sophisticated to ensure that all key decisions can be made but simple enough so that it focusses on just the key shared information. It achieves this by acting a parametric model with key data in the cloud and APIs to stay synchronised with 3rd party software. We touch on the issue of Big Data and it’s worth taking a look at the data pyramid. The point is to remember that contextualised data is meaningless. We need to provide context to turn it into information and process the information to make knowledge. We can then implement that knowledge in the for of wisdom. It’s worth bearing in mind next time you consider gathering data! Nathan previously worked on the autonomous Heathrow POD system (designed by Ultra Global PRT). We discuss the benefits and why it has failed to take off elsewhere. Given Nathan’s background, it may be surprising that he predicts that the transport mode of the future will be feet. In the context of our conversations with Chris Choa, Andrew Waugh and Vanessa Butz about the importance of human connectivity, however, this seems more logical. As information becomes more democratic and widely available, Nathan sees a growing importance of human concepts of trust and creativity which require direct relationships to flourish and argues that it’s in dense urban environments where this will continue to flourish. For those, like me, looking forward to recapturing green urban spaces through the Autonomous Vehicle revolution, Nathan offers some pretty glum thoughts! Nathan’s favourite building is the Pantheon in Rome. In terms of innovation, the use of CLT and computational manufacturing in buildings is what excites Nathan.

Andrew Waugh is a founder of Waugh Thistleton Architects and a pioneer of design in the field of timber buildings, using cross-laminated timber (CLT). Waugh Thistleton are committed to the use of timber construction which has earned them an international reputation in environmentally sustainable architecture and design. The practice has designed the world’s largest CLT building at Dalston Works – a 10 storey, 121 unit residential building, made entirely from CLT. WT are also currently working on 5 (out of the 10) major office CLT buildings under construction in London. Andrew has been quoted as saying that he believes that "timber will replace all other materials for construction" and we discuss the benefits of building with CLT. These include: - speed of delivery - ability to integrate with hi-tech, off-site construction methods - Sustainable resource - Lower carbon emissions in build process - CLT as store of carbon - Bio-morphic effect for residents - Aesthetic Picking up on a comment from Nick Fulford in Episode 3, we discuss the bio-morphic effect and i reference the work undertaken by Wood for Good. Harvard's Center for Health and the Global Environment found that that our cognitive abilities can increase by over 100% by working in offices with wooden interiors (when additional ventilation is added). A fact that, if verifiable, must be one of the more under-utilised in the industry. Andrew has strong views on the current trend of what he sees as egotistical architecture, with the focus on individual building, rather than its place within the its environment and surroundings. We discuss Lloyd Alter's concept of the Goldilocks Density and where CLT, in terms of design and structural requirements can help deliver integrated buildings that fulfil the density requirement our cities need.

Welcome to the very start of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour Episode 30; the 24hr Live Charity Episode!I would like to offer my sincere apologies to the guests for the slightly glitchy sound quality on this; it seems the recorder didn't like being used at the same time as the live broadcast Mixlr feed, and so it's a little skippy in parts. I will try to download the whole 24hr file from Mixlr in order to try to get the best quality stuff for the rest of the guests, however as you can imagine that file is HUGE so it may take me a while! In the meantime, I hope you can stand the glitchiness to check out what the following fine fellows had to say!This installment takes you from 9:30am-11:30am, and features the delightful Andrew Waugh, Tom Plant and Dan Gaynor, all of whom have strips featured in the wonderful new digital comic, Moose Kid Comics! Andrew is a Scottish (but not that Scottish) illustrator, cartoonist and teacher of art. He's had his stuff in a TON of places, including Hive, Ink+Paper and more, yet for some reason we talk to him about the size of a dog's nuts... Tom doesn't fair much better, recalling a poo-on-the-train story rather than talking to us about his work in The Beano and The Dandy, for Pete's sake! Dan (with special guest, his lovely Mrs, Fiona) brings the tone back up a notch or two with talk of pancakes, TMNT and his lovely comic Crunchwood.I hope you all enjoy this first part of the epic podcasting weekender that was SPCP Live!Episode Theme - 'Tequila' by The ChampsIn-Between Theme - 'Jump In The Line' by Harry BelafonteEnd Theme - 'Let Go For Tonight' by Foxes www.justgiving.com/spcplive
