This question feels existential against the backdrop of our present-day built environment, and it led architects Sylvain Bilodeau and Nicolas Mathieu-Tremblay of Quebec-based firm <a href=\"https:\/\/architecturama.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Architecturama<\/a> to a tangible vision for their Living Architecture prototype. The firm\u2019s tentlike, triangular structure was made of a living willow tree and resided from 2019 to 2022 in the village of Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez, where it served as a sculpture, shelter, and community gathering space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">With its practice operating at the intersection of architecture and public art, the Architecturama team was motivated to find more sustainable approaches to its projects. \u201cWe were asking ourselves, \u2018How can we do something to animate the public spaces with less environmental impact?\u2019\u201d Bilodeau explains. After receiving a grant from the Lanaudi\u00e8re Territorial Partnership Programme and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Qu\u00e9bec that required the firm to work with regional collaborators near the project\u2019s site, Architecturama landed on the willows grown by a local producer for its structural form. \u201cThe willow is a fantastic plant because it grows very fast. It also can be used for phytoremediation, so it is a plant that works well for these structures,\u201d Mathieu-Tremblay says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-red-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/projects\/living-architecture-architecturama-responsible-disruptors\/\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/projects\/civic-data-design-lab-mit-responsible-disruptors\/\">Surfacing the Stories Hidden in Migration Data<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">A winner of&nbsp;<em><em>Metropolis<\/em>\u2019s<\/em> second-annual Responsible Disruptors program, the Civic Data Design Lab at MIT explores new ways of looking at a humanitarian crisis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Civic-Data-Design-Lab-at-MIT-07.jpg\" alt=\"a person standing in an exhibition hall  at MIT's Civic Data Design Lab in front of a map about migration data\" class=\"wp-image-102980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Civic-Data-Design-Lab-at-MIT-07.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Civic-Data-Design-Lab-at-MIT-07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Civic-Data-Design-Lab-at-MIT-07-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Civic-Data-Design-Lab-at-MIT-07-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Civic-Data-Design-Lab-at-MIT-07-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">COURTESY MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">At a distance, the <em>Motivational Tapestry <\/em>at the <a href=\"https:\/\/civicdatadesignlab.mit.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Massachusetts Institute of Technology\u2019s Civic Data Design Lab (CDDL)<\/a> might be mistaken for a decorative work of art. The multicolored, woven piece spans 15 by 8 feet and is arresting to the eye owing to the intricate folds composing its surface. However, closer inspection reveals its patterns of paper \u201ccurrency\u201d folded by Latin American migrants and printed with information about migration. Based on a data set of 1,624 individuals in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras taken from a United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) survey in 2021, the currency is color-coded to represent individual migrants\u2019 motivations for undertaking the arduous journey from Central America to the United States. Pieces of the tapestry can also be digitally scanned to reveal more details about individual migrants\u2019 lives, showcasing the deep layers of the data in ways that allow its human facets to surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The&nbsp;<em>Motivational Tapestry&nbsp;<\/em>is a keystone in the CDDL exhibition and website&nbsp;<em>Distance Unknown<\/em>, a groundbreaking data collection and visualization project developed in partnership with the WFP and the Migration Policy Institute that communicates the root causes of migration through interactive, human-centered design. Beyond its success at presenting complex data in ways that captivate a broader audience, the CDDL\u2019s approach also has led to understanding from new angles. \u201cIn the data, we found that migrants spend $2.2 billion collectively to migrate from Central America to the U.S.,\u201d explains Ashley Louie, CDDL research associate. \u201cFiguring out a way to visualize this information allows you to dive into the heart of migration motivations, such as the cost implications and the more complex issues that surround this topic beyond just a simple flow of people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-red-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/projects\/civic-data-design-lab-mit-responsible-disruptors\/\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/projects\/dlr-mass-timber-hospitality-prototype-responsible-disruptors\/\">Finding a Future for Mass Timber in Hospitality<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">DLR Group&#8217;s mass timber hotel prototype was a winner of <em><em>Metropolis<\/em>\u2019s<\/em> second-annual Responsible Disruptors program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1294\" src=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DLR-Group-01.jpg\" alt=\"a rendering of the exterior of a mass timber hotel by DLR Group, a Metropolis Responsible Disruptors winner\" class=\"wp-image-102986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DLR-Group-01.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DLR-Group-01-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DLR-Group-01-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DLR-Group-01-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DLR-Group-01-1536x994.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">COURTESY DLR GROUP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">\u201cTimber for the masses\u201d is how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dlrgroup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DLR Group<\/a> describes its Hospitality Prototype. Unlike \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/tag\/mass-timber\/\">mass timber<\/a>,\u201d which has in recent years become a more common phrase among those working in the sustainable building industry, the material is less known for being an accessible solution\u2014a perception that the firm aims to change. Widely known for its use of mass timber in office design, DLR Group made an urgent but challenging pivot, reorienting its expertise to create a prototype for building in a sector where the material has yet to see its full potential realized: the hotel industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">\u201cThere is a little trepidation in the market, since it\u2019s a newer type of superstructure,\u201d explains Stephen Cavanaugh, DLR Group design leader. \u201cCommonly you build a hotel out of concrete or steel, so that\u2019s probably the first challenge you bump up against in conversations with development companies about doing something new, different, and sustainable.\u201d Maximizing the ecofriendly advantages and aesthetics of mass timber was important to the firm\u2014and added another layer to the project. \u201cWe wanted to keep the timber exposed to meet our sustainability goal, using fewer materials like gypsum wallboard where we could avoid it, to lower the carbon impact of the building,\u201d says B. Sanborn, design research leader. \u201cThe wood grain also has natural patterns that people associate with hominess and warmth, so we wanted to use it as a design feature.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-red-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/projects\/dlr-mass-timber-hospitality-prototype-responsible-disruptors\/\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"comment size-regular\">Would you like to comment on this article?
