Transmaterial 2: To Redefine Our Physical Environment - PingMag - The Tokyo-based magazine about “Design and Making Things” - Annotated
PingMag interview with Blaine Brownell, architect and sustainable materials researcher, whose focus is on green building.
“From repurposed materials that act as surrogates, to recombinant ones that fuse several materials into a hybrid, making them stronger and more effective — Blaine points us to products that might shape our physical environment in the future.”
Materials discussed include self-healing polymers inspired by biological systems, which can automatically heal cracks in buildings, for example.
The article includes many other photographs / examples with descriptions of weird and wonderful bioneered and sustainable building materials.
