Natke, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/26-05/06/26 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Ethical Materials Sourcing Section Info: THE FUTURE OF MATERIALITY: Ethical and Equitable Material Sourcing. The seminar course will analyze the ethical and social dimensions of building materials. The current global supply chain includes over 45 million people around the world still working under forms of coercion, with over 70% being women and children. A $150 billion dollar industry of forced labor and forms of human trafficking are still in existence. The class will trace the supply chain of many commonly used building materials, among them brick, copper, drywall, stone, and timber. Through research on material production, procurement and construction techniques through an ethical lens, the course will add to the architectural movement of material transparency and awareness, including future material sourcing industry certifications. The seminar will include readings, discussions, guest speakers, and an optional trip to the Design for Freedom Summit in New Canaan, Connecticut. The students will select a building material to research throughout the semester and present the report to the class at periodic intervals. Deliverables will include a min of (10) 11 x 17 printouts of the material research, including its history, supply chain, and ethical challenges.
