This session will discuss how custom architectural and art features are the perfect environment to explore innovative applications of new and conventional materials. Join us as we explore how materials and processes are adapted to new environments, and look at nascent materials that are searching for new and innovative uses. Architects are well placed to be visionaries in this space, and when combined with the right team can drive exploration and experimentation with these materials in the architectural realm.
