Collaboration with NH Architecture

FREE EVENT

Thu 16 Feb 2023

6pm – 8pm 

K5 is pleased to join the conversation on emerging materials & our journey in circularity. Our sustainability and circularity lead will be joining the panel to talk about some of our recent design collaboration on bio-based product design, and future innovations.

In this discussion, panelists from across the industry will talk about how they are adapting their practices to account for the intrinsic value of raw materials. They will consider the principles of circularity, including design for disassembly, reuse and adaptability. The panelists will also reflect on the possibilities posed by the emergence of new materials and products that sequester carbon, such as mycelium, hemp, algae and timber.
