Blaine Brownell now writes a regular online column for Architect magazine. Brownell is one of four featured bloggers, including Aaron Betsky, Hannah McCann, and Lance Hosey. Entitled “Mind & Matter,” Brownell’s blog provides a platform for a broad range of material considerations in design.
Mind & Matter discusses not just emergent materials R&D, but also the possible—or, in some cases, actual—design applications for these next-generation building products. It also delves into the pedagogical and societal aspects of material science, including sustainability, cross-cultural pollination, and the ongoing, radical rethinking of the manmade world.
