Welcome to a world where architecture meets innovation and sustainability! I am Mathilde Billet, an architect by training, and a passionate French expert dedicated to the transformative practice of reusing construction materials. With like-minded professionals across France and Europe, we revolutionize architectural practices and drive meaningful change in the construction industry. Remember, reusing is an art distinctly different from recycling: it's about giving materials a new life, not just processing them.
In 2023, I embarked on an exciting new chapter: a residency in the United States with Villa Albertine. My chosen destination? The vibrant city of Portland, Oregon—a beacon of Circular Economy and a trailblazer in reusing construction materials. Join me in this podcast as I take you on an insightful journey through my experiences.
The title of this podcast, "Donut Day," is not only a nod to American culture, but it resonates deeply with Kate Raworth's economic and social donut theory, a practical guide to balancing human essentials with the planet's environmental limits.
So, tune in, get inspired, and join the conversation!
EPISODE 2: The Activists
I'm feeling my way, searching, trying to grasp where I've landed and how the United States operates in terms of urban life, environmental innovations, and funding for alternative projects. In this episode, three people are interviewed, discussing various urban, community, and environmental themes: Shawn Wood, Mark Lakeman, and Arthur Perez.
"This culture of activism started expressing itself in public spaces that were developed in this city" - Mark Lakeman
