Walk-and-talk on ‘building with locally sourced materials’ with Ben Bosence from Local Works Studio

Join us for a walk-and-talk on ‘building with locally sourced materials’ with Ben Bosence from Local Works Studio and Jørn Aagaard, co-founder of Hedeskov.

Ben and Jørn will discuss how materials from Hedeskov’s land were harvested, processed and used in transforming the former rural school building, designed by architects Djernes & Bell. You'll also have the chance to see these materials in their original locations and explore how they’ve been integrated into the building, highlighting the link between regenerative building practices and land stewardship.

Moderated by Mads Thimmer from Hedeskov, the conversation will focus on how bio-materials sourced from the landscape can support biodiversity and local habitats.

Ben Bosence

Ben brings his enthusiasm for vernacular ingenuity and knowledge of material invention to any project, designing new materials, structures, features, finishes and processes to suit any scale and application. Prior to forming Local Works Studio Ben created and ran a well respected building conservation company repairing historic buildings throughout the UK and Europe: Bosence Building Conservation. He has also managed a large architectural terracotta workshop in Brighton, working on the design and production of traditional, moulded terracotta and bricks for restoration projects. Ben’s creative practice was informed by an education at the Royal College of Art in London, and he continues to research and innovate within his specialist field both in the repair of vernacular buildings and in developing new architectural and landscape-led design projects using local materials, waste, crafts, and people.

Jørn has lived in Hedeskov for 40 years, gradually acquiring and managing land regeneratively to shape the foundation for the Center. A trained gynecologist with a background in fertility research and projects under Innovation Fund Denmark, Jørn now focuses entirely on regenerative practice, having previously founded Aagaard Fertility Clinic.

Mads Thimmer
