As architects face growing pressure to address climate change, social equity, and resource scarcity, material selection has emerged as a pivotal strategy for shaping a more sustainable built environment. This interactive workshop will explore actionable strategies and innovative solutions for sustainable material selection, drawing on the holistic framework of the AIA Materials Pledge, recent technological advances, and the lessons - both positive and cautionary - of certification systems. Collaborate with other designers and industry leaders to identify common obstacles to sustainable design, crowdsource impactful solutions, and build a plan to implement change in your office.
