Indigenous Materials


Phase 1: Research & Preliminary Design
Week 5: February 6, 2012-February 14, 2012


I believe that in order to truly be sustainable with my attempt at biomimicry, I should look into indigenous materials for my design.  I researched what the natives used in this region and they had no choice but to use local materials.  Today, some of these materials can/are being used, however, strict building codes regulate how they are implemented and often encourage non traditional methods.
