Carbon signals

library, education, campus building, and house gives us a typology starting point even though the work does not have a recorded material palette yet.

No dominant drivers yet.

Brick and Stone look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette.

  • Brick
  • Stone
Lower-carbon levers

No levers surfaced yet.

  • Review masonry extent, reuse opportunities, and alternate assemblies where the design language allows it.
  • Check source geography, fabrication intensity, and whether stone is structural, cladding, or finish-only.
  • Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
