DesignIDEATE with Mattie Mead
We expose the innovative world of Mattie Mead, founder and creator of Hempitecture, who is revolutionizing sustainable construction through natural fiber materials ranging from US grown and rapidly renewable, hemp-based insulation to groundbreaking PlantPanel and FiberFill products. This visionary entrepreneur reveals how bio-based building materials are transforming the future of construction and environmental responsibility.
Bio Building
"The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it."
– Robert Swan, Polar Explorer
Known as a pioneer in sustainable construction, walking in to join us on this week's session is guest Mattie Mead is the visionary founder and creator of Hempitecture, a company at the forefront of natural fiber building materials innovation. Through their leadership, Hempitecture has developed a comprehensive range of eco-friendly construction solutions, from high-performance hemp insulation to revolutionary PlantPanel systems and versatile FiberFill products that are redefining industry standards for sustainable building practices.
Considering the construction industry's urgent need for carbon-neutral alternatives and the growing demand for healthy indoor environments, Mead's work addresses critical challenges facing modern builders and architects. Their natural fiber materials not only provide superior performance characteristics but also contribute to carbon sequestration, making buildings part of the climate solution rather than the problem. Through an exploration of biomaterial innovation and regenerative design principles, Mead opens conversations about how natural building materials can create healthier spaces while supporting agricultural communities and environmental restoration.
Connect with this entrepreneurial spirit, responsible for changing the landscape of sustainable construction on DesignIDEATE.
