Hemparch: Revealing the possibility of Hempcrete

Verdant Blocks explores the architectural and aesthetic potential of Hempcrete—a carbon-sequestering, bio-based material derived from hemp. While known for its insulation and low ecological impact, this project goes beyond function, delving into the inner geometry of Hempcrete to reveal the interplay between solid and void.

By developing custom framing systems that structurally support and visually expose the material, Verdant Blocks transforms Hempcrete into both a performative and pedagogical element. This tactile approach to sustainability invites users to see, touch, and understand ecological architecture at its core—bridging construction and consciousness through material truth.
