AMT2025 (Architectural Material Technologies Commons) conference aims to revolutionize our approach to material responsibility in architecture and design. By focusing on novel, regenerative, resilient, indigenous, and traditional materials, AMT2025 seeks to foster sustainable practices that respect our environment, honor cultural heritage, and empower practitioners through the democratization of knowledge and skills.

AMT2025 will feature three days of keynotes, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, exhibitions, and networking opportunities. Connect with experts from academia, industry, and local communities to explore innovative approaches to material responsibility that contribute to a regenerative, equitable, and resilient built environment. 

AMT2025 invites architects, designers, researchers, craftspeople, students, and community members to participate in this vital conversation. Registration and schedule of events are available at the AMT2025 website.

Together, participants will examine how collaborative, commons-based approaches can create more responsible and accessible architecture, from reimagining traditional materials with modern technologies to developing ultra-low-cost housing solutions using readily available materials. By fostering a community of practice that values both innovation and tradition, AMT2025 aims to catalyze a movement towards more sustainable, equitable, and culturally rich architectural practices.

AMT2025 is supported by the Indiana University Presidential Arts and Humanities Fellowship program, the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design, Terran Robotics, and Biodesign Research Group.
