There is a creative explosion of work taking place in architecture and design schools exploring materials such as mycelium, clay/earth, engineered timber, biobased plastics and algae. This handbook of low and nocarbon materials for architects and designers focuses on sustainable materials, their sourcing, technical properties and the processes required for their use in architecture.The book showcases new and rediscovered processes for material fabrication, responsible sourcing and creative material design. Material properties (structural, thermal, fire, health and life safety) are described and case studies from around the world illustrate the inventive ways in which these materials have been deployed in the built environment. The book is designed as an introduction to the exciting and rapidly changing world of construction materials.With a better understanding of the social, environmental and economic sustainability of any given material alongside its technical properties students of architecture can lead the change in responsible and creative material use.CONTENTS1 Materials overview2 Extractive materials:earth and clayconcretestonemetalsglass3 Grown materials:timber and corkpaperhempbambooseaweedmyceliumalgaebiopolymerswool

I was excited about these materials, but they didn't meet my needs. The texture was off compared to what I expected from regenerative products, and I found them hard to work with. Disappointed, but maybe they'll work better for someone else.

Decent but could be clearer
The materials are okay for what I needed, but I wish the product description had more details on how to use them effectively. I had to do some extra research to figure things out. Still, they feel good to use for my art projects!

Great for Eco-Friendly Projects
I bought these sustainable materials for a DIY furniture project and they worked like a charm. The quality is solid, and I love knowing I'm using regenerative resources. Definitely a win for my eco-conscious home!
