This project highlighted research at the intersection of building materials, nature-inspired materials design, and the social, environmental, and global impact of the built environment on the climate crisis. It brought together Penn State researchers and external speakers who are subject matter experts in the related areas of materials, architecture, engineering, social science, landscape architecture, and environmental science, with the goal of catalyzing research teams and charting a course towards a decarbonized, equitable, and sustainable built environment.
