As our physical world is becoming less predictable, we must develop new approaches in the way we intervene as architects. As architecture is fundamentally material, we must reconsider and expand upon the materials we use to create the social, physical, and psychological experiences of “place.”
Currently, we categorize materials as such: stone, metal, glass, concrete, ceramic, wood, textile, and plastic - all of which can be described as tangible products of some sort
of process. I propose an additional category of architectural material: processes themselves as materials for constructing place and adapting to change.
