The article discusses how architecture is evolving with a focus on sustainable practices and local material sourcing, paralleling shifts in food production. LEVER Architecture's 'forest-to-frame' model exemplifies this transition from traditional extractive methods to regenerative design. Founder Thomas Robinson compares architecture to cooking, emphasizing the importance of regional ingredients and thoughtful interactions. Their innovative use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) showcases efficiency and sustainability, proving that architecture can positively impact its environment and community.
"I think of architecture like cooking. Instead of coming with an a priori idea, you're looking at what's in the region, what ingredients are available, what can be regionally sourced."
"Ultimately, it all comes down to the experience of weaving these efforts into a haptic encounter whether through taste or architectural space."
