Week notes #54
Next WikiHouse community event
Coming up this Thursday! Where are we at in the path to decarbonising the built environment? How do we make bio-based building the new normal? What will replace the brick? We will try to answer those questions at our next online community event on 27 April. Come with questions and join the discussion. All welcome!
Free tickets: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/getting-to-zero-carbon-in-the-uk-tickets-621009705747
All our monthly events are recorded and can be accessed via our Youtube channel.

WikiHouse studies
And finally, we were contacted by architecture students from HTWG Konstanz who had been working with the WikiHouse system last winter and are now publishing their findings. You can check them out on Instagram (in German but with translations): https://www.instagram.com/wikihouse.studies/
