The Northeast Biobased Material Atlas, ongoing
The Northeast Biobased Material Atlas is a multi-scalar research to explore landscapes, forests and farms in the American Northeast as sources for new bioregional construction methods. Using a combination of mapping, data visualization, and architectural design, the Atlas will present a richly illustrated call to scale locally sourced regenerative materials and circular techniques for future construction in order to meet the region’s housing and climate goals.
The Northeast Biobased Material Atlas is supported by Independent Projects, a grant partnership of the New York State Council on the Arts and The Architectural League of New York. This program is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State legislature.
