Future-Proof by MaterialDriven

'Being Future Proof today rests on materials that are HEALTHY, for the environment and humankind, materials which ADAPT to their surroundings, materials that CLOSE THE LOOP and become valuable resources at the end of their life, as well as materials that are RESILIENT, recovering quickly from challenges' – MaterialDriven

MaterialDriven was invited by international trade show Architect@Work to curate the materials display at their London edition. The theme–Future-Proof'. We responded to this theme by selecting the most cutting edge materials and projects, both from our library and beyond, speculative and commercially viable, which can pave the way for a better tomorow. Materials spanned from new vegan leathers, to responsive facade-skins, to carbon-sequestering paint, to advanced bioplastics.
