    (2020) Fuentes Palacios, Anibal; Pacheco Glen, Carolina; Cabrera Galindez, Adriana; Weiss Munchmeyer, Alejandro; Besoain Narvaez, Maria Jose
    The exploration of materiality is of fundamental importance for the processes of architecture and design. Due to the rapid development of digital manufacturing, prototyping processes today have made customized systems accessible to all audiences. However, not all parts of the planet have access to these technologies and standardized materials that are required by today's industrial machinery and standards. Therefore, creating bio-manufacturing practices, for which local self-sufficiency and the use of local materials, is essential to create circular models. This fact underlines the importance of experimental materials research that connects exploring territories of all kinds of environments with self-understanding and responsible use of technologies in sensitive territories. In turn, this allows the self-sufficient emerging manufacturers to develop in extreme territories.
