Description
Navigating a route towards a circular future is a challenge for architects and interior designers, especially when selecting materials. Working with external partners is a good way to find guidance in this journey but does a data-led, a human-centric approach or a combination of both work best? Design writer Roddy Clarke speaks with 3 material experts, Philippe Brocart, Phanos Hadjikyriakou and Hannes Bäuerle, to explore their own individual methodologies and how they advise clients with their material choices.
