DESCRIPTION:Sarah Nichols\nSUPERONDA TALKS\nWHOLE WOOD\n\nThe SUPERONDA le
 cture series in autumn 2022 is organized with the laboratory IBOIS. It wil
 l focus on our constructive choices\, mostly dictated by the dynamics of s
 upply and demand of raw materials\, as well as by the resulting internatio
 nal trade flows. This critical analysis of innovation will allow us to dis
 cuss the evolution of mentalities that aspire to give a new impulse within
  the wood construction\, privileging the local circular economy.\n\nSUPERO
 NDA TALK N°1\nSARAH NICHOLS\n\nMonday 17 October 2022\, 6 p.m.\nArchizoom
 \, SG building\, Place Ada Lovelace\, EPFL \n\nThe material impact of hu
 man life on earth continues to intensify\, driven overwhelmingly by constr
 uction. This is of course not without consequence\, including the substant
 ial portion of carbon emissions from the production of building materials 
 like concrete and steel. It is therefore necessary to understand material 
 supply not as a naturalized law of supply and demand but as a key site for
  design and transformation. This contribution by Sarah Nichols will contex
 tualize the factors that determine material choice in architecture by look
 ing at material supply chains as large technological systems and\, in comp
 lement\, by looking at how conceptions about building materials are shaped
 —in short\, at the radical transition needed in material supply as a tec
 hnical\, political\, and cultural challenge.\n\nThe lecture is also broadc
 ast live on Zoom.\nMeeting ID : 646 5060 5823\n
