Abstract
Designing responsibly in the current environment of ecological doubt requires fundamental changes. By constructing architecture of site resources alone, you eliminate the embodied energy and inorganic materials that run rampant in the modern day construction industry. Bio-polymer-based material systems need to be investigated to combat the current detrimental synthetic petroleum-based materials that currently compose our markets.
