The Building Centre in London is hosting “SuperMaterial”, an exhibition of material innovations affecting the ecology, budgets, safety and life-span of our buildings by The Built Environment Trust. The exhibition is current until April 27, 2017."SuperMaterial" is a major public exhibition celebrating the essential, and often hidden, elements of our surroundings. Delving into the world of academia and science, the exhibition explores the latest laboratory-based discoveries and demonstrate how they will change our world – informing the R&D departments of today and transforming the buildings of our future. The project will also explore how the historical application of raw elements and minimally processed goods – the ‘super materials’ of their time – have shaped our urban fabric. Stronger, lighter, thinner and biodegradable properties are being discovered in materials that already exist, and in new laboratory-produced compounds. The exhibition heralds the next industrial revolution. The way we envisage, create and build our cities and landscapes is undergoing a rapid change and materials are shaping the movement.The exhibition is at The Building Centre, 26 Store St, Bloomsbury, London WC1E 7BT.
