Carbon signals

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

  • Concrete
  • Brick

performance venue, museum, library, and tower gives us a typology starting point even though the work does not have a recorded material palette yet.

No dominant drivers yet.

Lower-carbon levers
  • Look for lower-clinker mixes, reused structure, and scope reductions before fine-grained product swaps.
  • Review masonry extent, reuse opportunities, and alternate assemblies where the design language allows it.

No levers surfaced yet.
