We are pleased to announce the publication of our research report ‘Wetlands and Construction’ by Material Cultures and Bauhaus Earth in collaboration with Experimental. This report explores the importance of rewetting peatlands in Brandenburg and the potential for wetlands to provide the region with carbon negative construction materials. Using the Sernitzmoor area in Brandenburg as a case study, we examine how a land practice that promotes peatland carbon capture and the decarbonisation of the construction sector could be implemented at scale to deliver climatic, environmental, and economic benefits.
