(RE)-MATERIAL
(re)-material envisions a world using only reused materials, eliminating waste. It involves 3 stages: (re)-harvest, (re)-absorb and (re)-growth. Materials are salvaged, shared, and checked for quality, innovatively combined into composite structures, and integrated into construction. The Gorham Manufacturing Complex serves as the project's central hub.
