Sustainable Glass in Architecture: A Talk with Dr. Tyra Oseng-Rees

Join us on Tuesday 7 October, from 12pm to 1pm (online via Microsoft Teams), for an inspiring lunchtime session:
Sustainable Glass in Architecture: A Talk with Dr. Tyra Oseng-Rees

This webinar offers a opportunity to explore how post-consumer glass waste is being transformed into durable, stone-like surfaces for architectural and interior applications. Attendees will gain insight into the research, design, and technical development behind these innovative materials, including how they’re produced, tested, and applied in real-world projects.

From illuminated reception desks to heritage-sensitive installations like the award-winning Buttermarket commission, this session showcases how circular design principles are reshaping the built environment.

Whether you're an architect, designer, or sustainability advocate, you'll leave with practical knowledge, fresh inspiration, and ideas for integrating recycled glass into your own work.

Let’s reimagine the future of sustainable materials and design the future together.
