Biogenic House Sections

Based on LTL Architects' recently published book Manual of Biogenic House Sections, this exhibition presents a visually compelling argument for rethinking the material basis of architecture in a time of environmental crisis. Asserting that the most viable means to radically reduce embodied carbon in new buildings is to use plant and earth-based materials, this exhibit, book, and lecture demonstrate how this approach can catalyze new types of houses that reduce or sequester carbon, engage regenerative life cycles, and create healthier spaces for living. Interlaced into the exhibit are projects designed by LTL Architects that use biogenic material assemblies as a catalyst for building form, domestic organization, and spatial seduction.
