You are welcome to submit your abstract for AMT2025 (Architectural Material Technology Commons) Conference which aims to elucidate aspects of the design process which help to revolutionize our approach to material responsibility in architecture and design. By focusing on novel, regenerative, resilient, and traditional (indigenous, & Vernacular) materials, AMT2025 seeks to foster sustainable practices that respect our environment, honor cultural heritage, and empower practitioners through the democratization of knowledge and skills.

The concept of the Commons, both historical and digital, forms the foundation of our conference. We draw inspiration from the modern Digital Commons, defined as “information and knowledge resources that are collectively created and owned or shared between or among a community and that tend to be non-exclusive, that is, be (generally freely) available to third parties. Thus, they are oriented to favor use and reuse, rather than to exchange as a commodity.” (Fuster Morell, M. (2010))
