Material Cultures Reports
<p>Material Cultures is a not-for-profit design and research organization working at the intersection of natural materials, low embodied carbon construction and construction technology. Their mission is to work towards a bio-regional construction industry which is integrated into regenerative and socially just land and building systems. Bio-based materials are low in embodied carbon and offer an alternative to the globally sourced, carbon-intensive, socially destructive materials commonly used in the construction industry. Working across different scales developing materials and prototypical buildings to look strategically at the adaptation of the landscapes and supply chains from which they emerge, they challenge the systems, technologies, processes, supply chains, regulations and materials that make up the construction industry with the aim of transforming the way we build.</p>
