Material transition is no longer solely a matter of design or production; it is increasingly becoming a cross-cutting issue across the construction value chain — from policymaking and material selection to application in built projects.
The Forest Talk & Link: Material Transition – From Policy to Architecture is organized as a multi-stakeholder dialogue platform, bringing together perspectives from across the value chain to reflect on current practices, share experiences, and discuss practical pathways for material transition in the current context.
