Bioregional architecture - building from the materials which surround us
  The Hedeskov Living Lab in Djursland, on the Jutland Peninsula, points towards a potential paradigm shift in sustainable architecture.  In this episode, we meet architect Justine Bell from Djernes & Bell, who tells the story of transforming a former school into a centre for education, research and experimentation with regenerative building practices. The project has been created using locally sourced raw and reclaimed materials, including clay, sand, bulrushes and horse manure.  This approach is described by some as bioregional architecture. Much like the farm-to-table movement, it is rooted in local resources, materials, skills and craft traditions. The ambition is not only to reduce the environmental impact of construction, but also to create architecture that tells a powerful story about its place and the landscape from which it emerges. At the same time, the project points towards a more regenerative approach to building, where architecture not only minimises its footprint, but actively contributes to nature, biodiversity and local communities.  And it certainly does not hurt that Hedeskov Living Lab is also an extraordinarily beautiful place.  Guest:   Justine Bell, Founder, Djernes & Bell   Host:   Michael Booth  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center. Sound edits by Munck Studios.
