Material Responsibility From Cradle to Cradle With Anders Lendager 🏗️

If material producers took responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products, it could pave the way for a more sustainable building sector by strengthening producer responsibility, reducing waste, and promoting sustainable material use.

This week we return to an episode from the Assemble! podcast series - made in collaboration with koozarch.

And what better time, as we are still accepting applications for our fellowship with HouseEurope! exploring the intersections of architecture and legislation.

Listen, as we delve into the implications of a law proposal that could potentially push the building industry in a more sustainable direction by changing the legal framework.

On the podcast you will meet:

Anders Lendager: is an architect and the founder of Lendager. Since its founding, the architecture studio and consultancy has been championing circularity within the building industry, establishing itself as a front runner within sustainability and circular economy.

From the Podcast Archive: Architecture is more than buildings in cities
Are we operating within an underlying urban bias? And what would it mean to take the rural seriously as a place of life, ecology, and practice in its own right?

From The Podcast Archive: Exploring the Future of Danish Architecture
Many still assume that buildings must excite. They must capture attention, produce images, and offer experiences. But this reveals a hidden intuition that human beings need constant stimulation to remain engaged. What if this intuition is wrong?
