Materials Revolution – Innovative materials as a progressing tool in the architectural work

The trend towards sustainable product development and sustainable design is especially important in the design industry, where it has been embraced by architects and industrial designers. More and more, creative industries are meeting the needs of a sustainable product culture by incorporating the latest scientific discoveries into their work. This brings research, technology, architecture and design together, particularly within the allocation of materials.

Designers are currently forming a new understanding of how products might be sourced and produced. They are looking increasingly towards producing in line with nature, and have made biological biodegradability and natural recyclability top priorities when seeking out new materials. Interior made by algaes, construction panels made of rice husks, packaging materials from mushroom or bamboo composite material instead of concrete steel: These are just some of the most striking examples of a development that will take on a revolutionary character in the near future.

In his presentation Dr. Sascha Peters pointed out some of the most spectacular material innovations of the last months and will show some examples for the use of sustainable materials in architecture and design. He especially focussed on the implementation of materials as a progressing tool in the architectural work.
