In conversation with Lisa Edden

In our tenth and final episode of the series, we chat with Lisa Edden of Cora Consulting Engineers.

Lisa has over 30 years post graduate experience in designing solutions for the stabilisation and restoration of buildings grand and vernacular, particularly historic masonry and timber structures. She has a thorough understanding of building and repair processes and the materials involved.

In today's chat, Lisa takes us through her fascinating journey from her childhood growing up next to the Weald and Downland Living Museum in West Sussex, structural engineering in the UK with Alan Baxter her move to Ireland (via an extended stay in Africa learning about rammed earth buildings in Timbuktu, Mali), her experience of working with rammed earth buildings and earth mortars, and her own journey in the conservation of her vernacular cottage in Ballyknockan, Co. Wicklow with much more in between.
