Facade concepts and diagramming global material flow: a low-load bearing sustainable composite brick

This is the second part in my DIS project series

In the first portion of my DIS Thesis, I engineered a composite material by mineralizing and/or biomineralizing particles of waste plastic

With a plastic-calcium-carbonate-hydrogel composite brick, I investigated possible applications for the material in the built environment as an architectural facade

In the final portion of my DIS Thesis, I conducted a sociological survey of building professionals to understand when they might adopt this technology
