AHEC REPORT GET A KICK. AHEC And Disegno Launch Season 4 Of Words On Wood Podcast The award-winning podcast Words on Wood is returning for its fourth season. This season delves even deeper into the world of wood, featuring unexpected and timely topics from across forestry, architecture and design, as well as the introduction of new, bite-sized ‘Making Shorts’, which shine a light on different production techniques for designing and building with timber. Photo By Petr Krečí Venturing into the world’s forests, sites of timber production, and design and architecture studios, the podcast examines how these industries intersect through material. Each episode is structured around interviews with leading architects, designers, educators, manufacturers, and forestry professionals who live amongst and care for trees on a day-to-day basis. The fourth season launches with an in-depth exploration of an often overlooked and misunderstood timber product: veneer. Featuring contemporary designers Jorge Penadés and Rio Kobayashi, as well as Cathy Lynn Danzer of timber manufacturer Danzer, the episode explores the design potential of this thinly sliced material and how a new generation of practitioners are pushing it in experimental and playful directions. Returning to the classroom, the season’s second episode explores what is missing in architectural education when it comes to wood. While timber is a common building material, each species offers different properties - are architects provided with sufficient information about these varied materials in their training? This episode brings together educators Kenn Busch, Hanif Kara and Izaskun Chinchilla Moreno to discuss how to develop more rigorous timber curriculums. Introducing Making Shorts Building on the success of previous seasons’ ‘Tree Shorts’, this season introduces a new series of ‘Making Shorts’.
