Abstract

The Atlas of Regenerative Materials, aims to be a non-profit website that assembles and interconnects knowledge about construction with bio- and geo-sourced building materials. The goal is to create an open tool that provides visibility to the entire value chain in sustainable construction, linking natural resources to exemplary buildings and involving the expert community. The Atlas includes information about natural resources, building materials, professionals in the sector, technical construction details, and buildings implementing sustainable construction. A critical factor for the success of this knowledge platform is the collaboration of researchers from academia and industry. The project seeks to gather research results and expertise from various sources to create a comprehensive and reliable repository. The involvement of renowned experts from academia and industry is seen as a key element in establishing a community-driven platform. The project will be a community-driven web repository gathering scientific knowledge and research on natural resources, building materials, technical constructions, professionals, and exemplary buildings. The project seeks to unite various stakeholders in the construction industry, providing academia with teaching support, the construction industry with a ready-to-use database, and third parties with insights into sustainable practices as an alternative to the current depletion of fossil resources.
