OSBN (Polish Building Natural Association ) is an open, interdisciplinary platform supporting ecological transformation in the construction sector through natural materials, regenerative practices, and circular economy models.
Operating at the intersection of architecture, education, climate policy, and social innovation, OSBN brings together builders, producers, designers, researchers, NGOs, and local communities to promote climate-positive practices in the built environment. Our mission is to reconnect construction with ecological wisdom, local resources, and community empowerment.
Our core activities include:
-
Organizing national festivals, field workshops, and training for low-carbon construction
-
Developing policy recommendations and LCA-based tools for CO₂ reduction in materials
-
Supporting education, vocational training, and community learning hubs
-
Facilitating cooperation between academia, artisans, and green innovators
-
Advocating for the recognition of natural materials in public standards and climate strategies
We believe natural building is more than a technique — it’s a pathway to resilience, inclusion, and systems change.
Circular and regenerative approaches for the built environment
Innovative funding and new business models for the transformation of neighbourhoods
