Low-impact Building Materials Today
Exhibition: 8 October - 18 November, 2007
Growing environmental concern across the UK has led to an increased
interest in the ecological impact of the materials used in construction
projects. Conventional building materials such as bricks and concrete
may offer durability and strength, but the high level of fossil
fuel needed to produce them significantly impacts the environment.
Natural Revival focuses on construction materials that require
minimal manufacturing processes. While some of these - such as
straw and earth - have been used in building for centuries, we
will focus on how they are being adapted and revisited in a modern
context. Can they offer a solution in the pursuit to create buildings
that reduce negative impacts on the environment?
