This volume details the recent efforts of developing sustainable approaches to reclaim synthetic polymers and explore natural polymers in design production. Not long ago, plastic was envisioned as a miraculous material. Now plastic pollution has become an inseparable part of the environment. How can the built environment make use of this prolific and âmiraculousâ material in an environmentally responsible way?

Plastic Futures in Architecture focuses on plastic derivatives and complications in three main modes: Being, Becoming, and Beyond. âBeingâ presents the concerns and prospects of plastic continuation. âBecomingâ provides insight into the technological advancements in the processing and production of plastic in the built environment. âBeyondâ discusses the experimental transformation of plastic applications from synthetic polymers to more sustainable polymers in design. It focuses on projects that outline a journey from awareness to innovation, recycling synthetic polymers and exploring the use of bio-based natural polymers through rapidly developing digital crafting capabilities and techniques.

These project discussions will serve as an invaluable resource for students, educators, architects, product designers, practitioners in global sustainability, material innovation, digital fabrication technologies, and computational design.
