About Endangered Wooden Architecture Programme (EWAP) |
||
|
The Endangered Wooden Architecture Programme (EWAP) is a grant-giving programme
that offers small and large grants for the documentation of endangered wooden
architecture. The programme is hosted by Oxford Brookes University and delivered
in collaboration with CyArk. EWAP was established in 2021 with funding from
Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin. Throughout
history, wood has been an important building material all around the world.
Today, extensive and rapid global deforestation, combined with competition from
industrially manufactured materials threatens the continuity and survival of
many wooden buildings and the carpentry traditions and ways of life associated
with them. There is an urgent need to document the endangered wooden
architectural heritage before much of it disappears due to the combined forces
of globalisation, deforestation and material transience.
