The exhibition shows the results of research by ten interdisciplinary teams of architects, artists and manufacturers who have looked at innovative materials for building - like mycelium - or looked at how we can use existing materials in new ways or, even, at ways to use materials, like hemp or straw, that were used widely - at least in vernacular and agricultural buildings, - until a century or so ago.

With pressure to reduce the impact on the environment of all building work, we have to consider if we can use ancient construction techniques so, for instance, use earth and mud, dried in the sun, to build up walls as an alternative to energy-intensive construction materials like fired bricks or concrete.

An important exhibition at the Royal Academy schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation.

Students and teaching departments were asked to submit their projects for inclusion and 31 were chosen for the exhibition to illustrate how new ideas, new materials and new methods of construction or manufacturing will help to reduce global emissions of CO2 by at least 70%.
