Paolo Aschieri

Paolo Aschieri is director at Theca Timber – a firm that is committed to transforming the way we build, by leveraging timber's natural strength and durability to build a low carbon sustainable future.

"Every single state, every single nation has a different appetite for timber. If you travel to the Scandinavian countries, their appetite for timber is just outstanding. It blows my mind when I go there, and I like it, I really like it. It's going beyond the technical capacities, or beyond the technical efficiency of timber versus steel. But if you've got the right reasons, why not? If it's worth it for sustainability, why not do it?"
