Carbon signals	museum and house gives us a typology starting point even though the work does not have a recorded material palette yet. No dominant drivers yet.	Concrete, Glass, and Stone look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Concrete Glass Stone
Lower-carbon levers	No levers surfaced yet.	Look for lower-clinker mixes, reused structure, and scope reductions before fine-grained product swaps. Compare system-level facade options, reduce overspecification, and pair glass choices with structural reductions. Check source geography, fabrication intensity, and whether stone is structural, cladding, or finish-only.
