Why is it important?
The article is important because of the globalisation of materials for construction coming from around the world due to cost and has no relationship to its context within the construction of architecture.
Perspectives
This article is to reveal an understanding of where materials come from for construction in buildings should be central to the built environment. Discussions about carbon-free, carbon-neutral, embodied carbon and operational carbon is unpacked through a series of speculative drawings.
