Making Lewes’s Collaborative Kaleidoscope teams up with local architect Duncan Baker-Brown for the Lewes launch of his new book The Re-Use Atlas.

October 13th, 8pm at Fitzroy House, 10 High Street, Lewes BN7 2AD

The Re-Use Atlas is an up to the minute repository of information, knowledge and working examples of materials re-use, signposting where the Circular Economy is heading. The Atlas follows on from Baker-Brown’s award winning Wastehouse project, the first building comprising (almost) entirely re-used and re-cycled materials, and  located at the South Eastern edge of Brighton University’s Grand Parade site.

Baker-Brown is one half of BakerBrownMcKay Sustainable Design, along with joint founder and director Ian McKay. The practice has produced a long string of exemplar sustainably designed buildings in and around the town.

For the Friday evening talk, Baker-Brown has invited Transition Town Lewes’s (and Lewes Phoenix Rising) Juliet Oxborrow to chair the evening, and has brought together a panel comprising Prof. Graeme Brooker (Head of Programme Interior Design at the Royal College of Art), Prof. Anne Boddington (Interim Dean  of Kingston School of Art, Professor of Design) Nick Gant (Principal Lecturer, Founder Community 21, Brighton University School of Architecture and Design), Bryn Thomas from Brighton Permaculture Trust and Making Lewes’s Oliver Lowenstein.

For those interested in the sustainable buzz around the Circular Economy the launch should make for a thought provoking evening.
