Materials

Future Materials Library™ is the UK's most extensive open collection of regenerative materials for built environment use.

The materials featured have been sourced from around the world, over a span of seven-years, in what will be a continually evolving roster. And it's now ready to be explored at Material Source Studio.

There are over 100 materials for use in your schemes on permanent display – with the designers and brands featured dating back to our very first exhibition, ‘From the Ground Up’ at Material Source Studio Manchester in 2022 – loaned by Gensler for its European team – to ‘This Is No Longer Speculative’ in 2024, receiving thousands of visitors in both Manchester and Glasgow, and to ‘Carbon-12’ our latest installation on the carbon journeys of materials for 2025.
