Biophilia – Nature’s Blueprint
: the 2025 Straw Building UK (SBUK) Symposium brings together designers, makers, policy thinkers and community voices for a full-day gathering in Swindon.
Hosted at the 
National Self Build & Renovation Centre
, this one-day event explores how biobased construction – especially straw – can reshape our buildings, our materials economy, and the systems that support them.
This year’s Symposium also marks 
ten years of Straw Building UK
 – a decade of growing momentum, shared knowledge, and collective action. We will also host the 
official launch of 
The English Edition of French Professional Standards for Building with Straw
 – a milestone for training, technical clarity, and international collaboration.
The day includes:
Provocations and insights from across the sector
Hands-on demonstrations and exhibitions
Conversations on policy, craft, education and insurance
New thinking on cities, carbon, culture and care
Plenty of time to meet others shaping this field
Whether you’re in design, development, construction, community organising, policy, education or housing, you’ll find something here to provoke and inspire.
This is an invitation to shape what comes next – using materials rooted in place, practice and planetary limits.
A special thanks to our Platinum Sponsors - Ecococon and Ecological Building Systems - now working together as one team across the UK and Ireland. Their support helps make this event possible.
A full and diverse programme will be shared soon. If you're curious, committed or just want to be in the room, we encourage you to book early - space is limited and Early Bird tickets won’t last.
Places are limited. Early booking is strongly advised.
