Summary

For the SPARK Symposium, we will be presenting materials and the way in which they are applied towards the architecture discipline.Original materials included in the architecture of the past included stone, timber, clay, and mud. Materials used in present-day architecture are all focused towards sustainability, high-performance in digital integration, cross-laminated timber, carbon neutral/self-healing concrete, smart glass, and fiber-reinforced polymers. Some innovations looking towards the future include mycelium, hempcrete, electro-chromatic glass and thermo-chromatic cement for climate control.
