Andrew Waugh co-founded Waugh Thistleton Architects in 1997 with Anthony Thistleton. The London-based practice is a world leader in engineered timber, and a pioneer in the field of tall timber buildings, completing their first cross-laminated timber (CLT) project in 2003, and going on to establish renowned expertise in timber design and construction.

In this talk, Andrew describes how the practice is driven by its proactive approach to low-carbon, sustainable architecture, as exemplified through both built projects and its extensive open-source research. Featured projects include the pioneering CLT residential tower Murray Grove in Hackney, The Black & White Building office development in Shoreditch, and a rammed earth cemetery in Bushey for the Jewish Orthodox community.

The practice won Architects’ Journal Architect of the Year 2023, was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize in 2018, and has won a host of RIBA awards.
