Building from forests exhibition and symposium

The Building from England’s Woodlands project might have finished, but things continue.

There is now a an exhibition currently on at the V&A museum in London (until October 2026) – which you can visit for free to see a display showcasing some of the results. You can also read up on how that exhibition was created on DRMM’s website, and in BE-ST’s Smarter Transformation magazine .

But there is also a symposium coming up soon. You can attend in person or online

Make Good Symposium 2026
The 2026 Make Good symposium brings together leading scientists, designers, manufacturers, architects and developers to discuss how we can grow better forests in the UK, harvest the material they offer responsibly and build with it locally. As such, it takes its cue from pioneering research into local hardwood, currently on display at the V&A in Building from Forests.
