In this episode, Sustainabuild Founder & Director Matt Colgan sits down with Oscar Rodriguez, Director at Architecture and Food, to explore the future of sustainable architecture. Oscar, an architect specialising in regenerative design and urban food systems, discusses the importance of using low-carbon materials like stone and timber to create carbon-negative buildings. He highlights the potential of integrating food production into urban architecture to boost sustainability and argues for moving beyond net-zero by actively removing carbon from the atmosphere. Oscar also advocates for localised food production to reduce supply chain risks and global dependencies, calling on government and industry leaders to support sustainable building practices and urban agriculture.
