Colin is an architect, a Lecturer at the Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction, UCL, and a Founding Partner of UK CLT. His work focuses on bringing about a more resourceful and circular construction industry. At UCL, he leads research investigating the reuse, repurposing and upcycling of materials, with a focus on recovered timber. UK CLT aims to commercialise that research by localising the manufacture of mass timber using high-quality wood from demolition. These products have been demonstrated in a world-first pilot, CascadeUp, exhibited at Futurebuild, the UCL Festival of Engineering, Here East and the London Design Festival.
