Paul Crosby joins SBUK Symposium 2025 speaker line-up
We are delighted to announce that architect Paul Crosby will be speaking at the 2025 Straw Building UK (SBUK) Symposium – Biophilia: Nature’s Blueprint.
A SPAB Scholar and Director at Crosby Granger Architects, Paul has over two decades of experience working at the intersection of conservation, sustainability, and material craft. His work blends the use of natural materials with the sensitive repair and renewal of historic buildings, bringing heritage values into contemporary construction practice.
In his talk, Natural Architecture, Paul will explore designing to a natural scale – and the challenges of specifying with nature in mind, particularly within the heritage sector. His session will contribute to a day of ideas, demonstrations, and discussion, marking ten years of Straw Building UK and looking ahead to the next decade.
The Symposium takes place on Tuesday 4th November 2025 at the National Self Build & Renovation Centre, Swindon, and will also feature the official launch of the English Edition of the French Professional Standards for Building with Straw – a milestone for training, technical clarity, and international collaboration.
Early bird and member discounts are now available.
