Fantastic Materials Sibley Hall Exhibition
EXHIBITION - SPRING 2023
From natural to synthetic, from nano to macro — materials are a source of inspiration and excitement. As an intrinsic component of good design, material knowledge helps create quality surroundings from everyday objects to buildings. The wealth and variety of today’s material world is the result of millennia of development, and new materials continually emerge. However, it can take decades for a breakthrough invention to move from the laboratory to the building site, and many creative alternatives often only find niche applications.
This exhibition summarizes a semester-long material investigations conducted by 17 participants from AAP (B.Arch, M.Arch, MS.AAD programs) and CALS Colleges, done within the formwork of Fantastic Materials and where to find them elective seminar in Spring 2023.
