Materials by AMBIT Cluster
Sourced from interihotel exhibitors
An initiative led by AMBIT that brings together a selection of the most innovative and sustainable materials from interihotel’s exhibiting brands. The showcase highlights new solutions, processes and material approaches that are already transforming the sector, offering a space to discover and explore them and learn about their applications.
Each material connects visitors with the brand behind it, inviting them to continue their journey at the companies’ stands and explore its characteristics and possibilities in greater depth. Materials Lab thus becomes a showcase for material innovation emerging from the sector itself.
Materials by Matter
Adaptable Materiality
Today, materials are no longer chosen solely for their appearance or technical performance. Resource availability, environmental impact and technological advances also influence the decision. The exhibition traces this evolution through six families: wood, stone, clay, concrete, metal and new materiality.
Each family is presented through a moodboard showing examples of how it is changing. Some materials incorporate new manufacturing processes, others gain improved performance through technology, and others are made from recycled resources. The final family brings together materials defined by how they are created and reintroduced into new cycles, rather than by their origin: materials made from waste, hybrids or the results of biological processes.
Matter is the meeting point between architectural design, materiality and procurement management. It provides technical expertise for designers, cost and schedule control for investors, and supply management and support for those delivering the project.
