Our new exhibit, Biogenic House Sections, is now on view at the Princeton University School of Architecture Gallery from October 6th through January 13, 2023. Starting from the recognition that the most viable means to reduce embodied carbon in new buildings is through the use of plant and earth-based materials, the exhibit explores how these assemblies can be a catalyst for architectural invention and new forms of dwelling. The exhibit is comprised of three parts: a presentation of house sections from our forthcoming new book, Manual of Biogenic House Sections, a selection of building materials organized by their embodied carbon, and five new house projects by LTL that use biogenic material assemblies as an impetus for building form, domestic organization and spatial seduction.
