2012Architecten believe that the growing scarcity of oil and raw materials will encourage us to mine local materials and put them to use in multiple cycles. This renewed appreciation for what is available locally could become a breeding ground for new trades and region-bound architecture. In order to understand what is available in a certain region, they produce harvest maps.
At Pioneers of Change, their rooms are filled with typical building materials of New York, with the quantity representing the amount available each month. In a workshop, the public is invited to build with these materials, guided by the Green Worker Cooperative and 2012Architecten.
