Thermal breaks webinar - watch online

Are good design and building physics at loggerheads when it comes to thermal bridging? Would some of the world's great pieces of architecture have been built if they had to pay such close attention to building physics? Do we need a new way to think about architecture in the twenty-first century?

The webinar explored the apparent conflict between architecture and building physics, with thermal bridging as the battlefield between conventional notions of design and the need to create buildings that actually work in the context of a climate emergency.
