The exploration of future building materials that are suitable for a planet in a climate crisis and answer the needs of ever-expanding urban centers have been a strong focus for many contemporary architects. Recently, an exhibition titled 'More with Less: Reimagining Architecture for a Changing World' looks into future building materials and their potential to adapt and persevere during global warming. Fake fur, mycelium, and wool insulation are some of the materials in the spotlight.
The 'More with Less: Reimagining Architecture for a Changing World' exhibition is the inaugural show of the newly opened Farrell Centre, located in Newcastle, England. The institution, which doubles as a research center and community space, was founded by British architect Terry Farrell "who donated his architectural archive and put £1 million towards the build."
