Carbon Copies is an investigation into the embodied carbon impact of residential typologies, exploring the relationship between the materials we build with and the impact they have on the environment. Substituting carbon intensive technical materials like cement and plastics, with regenerative resources from the biosphere such as hemp, timber and straw which absorb and store natural carbon has become a key approach to decarbonizing our built environment.
