embodied carbon lead for structures
Dr Natasha Watson
After completing her doctorate in low impact building materials in 2016, Natasha has become one of the experts leading the development of knowledge on the embodied impacts of construction materials within the industry as well as on Buro Happold projects.
As the UK Embodied Carbon Lead for Structures, Natasha’s goal is to develop and deliver advisory and consultancy services in embodied carbon over and above Buro Happold's own dedication to reducing embodied carbon as a company. This also includes upskilling her colleagues in their understanding of embodied carbon, primarily in its measurement and reduction.
As well as the technical aspects of tackling the climate emergency, she is interested in the wider issues around equity and unconscious bias in the built environment, as well as intersectional environmentalism.
