Episode 6 - Designing for Systems Change

In this episode of The Futurebuild Podcast, our host Martin Hurn sits down with Alastair Parvin, co-founder of Open Systems Lab and the visionary behind the WikiHouse project. Alastair shares his journey from traditional architecture to system design, challenging conventional building practices. He discusses how WikiHouse is revolutionising construction with its open-source approach, aiming to democratize the building process and make it accessible to everyone.

The conversation covers how disruptive manufacturing can reshape communities, the importance of collaboration in solving the housing and climate crises, and the future of planning. Alastair delves into the potential of distributed manufacturing, bio-based materials, and open innovation to bring sustainable, cost-effective housing solutions to the mainstream.
