Book Description

In the context of climate change and finite resources, the choice of building materials is no longer merely a technical consideration, but a critical decision that carries environmental responsibility, social impact, and creative potential. This book takes this perspective as its starting point, calling on architects and designers to lead a transformation in material use and to reimagine the possibilities of architecture through more sustainable and innovative ways of thinking.

Designed as an introductory handbook to low- and zero-carbon construction materials for architecture and design, the book focuses on contemporary material innovation and practical application. It covers a wide range of materials that are rapidly gaining attention today, including earth and clay, concrete, engineered timber, bamboo, hemp, mycelium, bio-based plastics, algae, and seaweed, providing clear explanations of their sources, fabrication processes, technical properties, and architectural uses.

The book systematically introduces emerging and rediscovered methods of material production and processing, with a strong emphasis on responsible sourcing and creatively driven material design strategies. Each material is examined through key performance criteria—such as structural capacity, thermal performance, fire resistance, health considerations, and life safety—helping readers make informed, safe, and sustainable material decisions from the early stages of design.

Through case studies from around the world, the book demonstrates how these materials have been innovatively applied within the built environment, from small-scale experiments to viable architectural solutions, revealing the diversity of contemporary material practice. Clearly structured and accessible, the book is especially well suited as a first point of reference for architecture and design students engaging with material issues.

By integrating an understanding of technical performance with the social, environmental, and economic sustainability of materials, the book encourages a new generation of architects and designers to become leading agents of responsible and creative material use in future practice.
