Construction Ecologies
Event Date: Aug 2, 2024; Event City: Butte, MT, US Opening August 2nd, 2024 at the Imagine Butte Resource Center (IBRC) in historic Uptown Butte, Construction Ecologies presents architectural research exploring construction supply chains in Montana, tracing the flow of raw materials from their original sites of extraction through production to their final use in the built environment. Sponsored by the nonprofit Building Bureau and the School of Architecture at Montana State University (MSU), the show features research by eleven graduate architecture students conducted this spring in Building Bureau’s Visiting Scholar Advanced Architectural Studio at MSU. The work on display includes diagrams, text, mineral samples, material experiments and physical models, and represents both industrially produced construction materials ranging from gypsum to copper – for which Butte is famed – and renewable resources such as timber, wool, and straw.
