Material Cultures 2023

Open access content

Our experimental studio at the ETH explored the complex interrelationship of ecosystems, communities, and landscapes within ecoregions across Europe. Working through film, drawing, and making, our students studied existing material supply chains, questioning how they could be radically reimagined in a post-carbon future. With the plants and minerals of Europe’s ecoregions as the starting point the studio looked at regenerative practices, designing radical new housing systems which respect our planetary limits. The group also learnt how to build with bio-based materials, exploring the implications for labour and the body of a new, decarbonized built environment.
