Reinventing Wood
Timothée Boitouzet is an architect and entrepreneur. He is the founder of the startup Woodoo, which develops a high-performance wood – a form of “augmented” wood, even more performing than the material provided by Nature. In this talk, he presents his approach, which is part of the bio-economy. Timothée Boitouzet based his research on the will to design a high-performance construction material that respects the environment. This is a concrete example of adaptation to the challenges of the Anthropocene, the sign of a new alliance with the living. This material, however, raises the question of the manipulation of nature, its overcoming to serve the interests of Man.
