Material Matter[s], 2024
In the summer of 2024, Lucy joined 20 designers, architects and change makers from across the UK in the Material Matters hands-on, practical learning journey. The Skills For Transition journey was for people interested in the material transition of our homes, streets and neighbourhoods to collectively move towards a low-carbon, regenerative built environment that supports an ecologically safe and socially just planet for all life, both human and the more-than-human.
Participation primarily took the form of four hands-on in person workshops each centred around a working with different natural materials (Clay, Straw, Mycelium, Timber and Soil) alongside some theoretical knowledge in relation to the material.
Lucy's Project Question:
How can regenerative and bio-based design methods weave ties between the local environment, culture, and heritage to better inform approaches to construction in the museum sector, at a local and global level?
