Interview with Johan Tijssen, the director of HempBlock Australia. We will talk about his vision for the future of cities, the city itself, urban reevaluation, and many more. 


Originating from Holland, multi-lingual Johan Tijssen is a key figure in the development of the hemp building industry in Australia. He has developed certification, manuals and training programs to meet the growing interest and demand for hemp as a sustainable building material. Johan is passionate about protecting the planet for future generations and minimising the impact of traditional materials used throughout the construction industry. Johan equally focusses on smooth, fast and simple building processes using longer lasting and efficient materials.
