Bettina Robinson - Sustainable material selection

Hearing Architecture

In this episode, Daniel Moore talks with registered architect and Director of Interiors at Breathe Architecture, Bettina Robinson. Bettina leads the interior design arm of Breathe and has cultivated a thoughtful approach to spatial organisation and a pioneering attitude towards the utilisation of sustainable materials and design methodologies. We discuss Bettina’s process for selecting materials that serve the needs of different typologies and the reason Breathe released their free ‘Guide to Sustainable Materials’ when others might see that as giving away a lot of valuable IP.
