Dr Natasha Watson

Natasha is our Embodied Carbon Lead for UK Structures. She joined Buro Happold in 2014 and is based in our Bath office.

After completing her doctorate in low impact building materials in 2016, Natasha has become one of the experts leading the development of knowledge on the embodied impacts of construction materials within the construction industry as well as on Buro Happold projects.

In her role, Natasha is the UK Embodied Carbon Lead for Structures, and her goal is to develop and deliver our advisory and consultancy service in the area of Embodied Carbon over and above Buro Happold’s own dedication to reducing embodied carbon as a company. This also includes upskilling her colleagues in their understanding of embodied carbon, primarily in its measurement and reduction.

As well as the technical aspects of tackling the climate emergency, she is interested in the wider issues around equity and unconscious bias in the built environment, as well as intersectional environmentalism.
