In this episode of The Neutral Podcast, we sat down with Ray Hartshorne, Co-Founder and Partner at Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture ("HPA"). He and his team at HPA are leading the design for The Neutral Project's historic development in Milwaukee, The Edison.

Join us as we discuss the history of architects and builders using wood in construction dating back several hundred years and how Ray and his Co-Founder Jim Plunkard have used it in historic rehabilitations to mass timber towers like The Edison. Along with HPA's philosophy of reusing and repurposing old historical buildings, it not only helps preserve a city's architectural history but is also the most sustainable practice in construction and building design.
