Rock Townsend goes on study trip - some photos from a lovely afternoon spent at the Paper Garden last Friday.
The Paper Garden by Jan Kattein Architects is Global Generation’s new home base in Canada Water and includes a garden and an educational community building. This project has achieved remarkable sustainability goals, surpassing LETI's 2030 target by 7 years. It is built from 60% reused materials, demonstrating innovative construction practices and the process involved redesigning construction methods to allow for experimentation and community involvement within a limited budget. Over 3000 volunteers participated, spreading awareness of sustainable building practices. The project also integrates with engagement activities, fostering community cohesion through activities like splitting logs and building planters and it sets a precedent for sustainable construction and community involvement in London's evolving landscape.
Thank you very much to the staff who talked us through the project and gave us the space to walk around, ask questions and engage with the space.
