The team surveyed designers to tabulate materials most commonly used and also profiled new or exotic materials that are atypical for landscape application. \u00a0XL Lab facilitated the project by creating the database structure and entry system that any designer can use to contribute.\u00a0 Entries were authored by designers and technical experts within each studio.\u00a0 This project continues SWA\u2019s work on the craft of building from Post-occupancy Assessment and Material Reuse.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;swa_column_header&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>RESEARCH TEAM<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swagroup.com\/principals\/richard-crockett\/\">Richard Crockett<\/a>, SWA, XL<br \/>\nBen Waldo, SWA, XL<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swagroup.com\/principals\/anya-domlesky\/\">Anya Domlesky<\/a> and Emily Schlickman, XL Research and Innovation Lab at SWA<br \/>\nAlan Waxman, SWA<br \/>\nRoss Nadeau, SWA<br \/>\nMargaret Gerhart, SWA, XL<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swagroup.com\/principals\/jeremy-klemic\/\">Jeremy Klemic<\/a>, SWA<br \/>\nDarren Sharkey, SWA, XL<br \/>\nChris Gentile, SWA, XL<br \/>\nAndrew Gressett, SWA, XL<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swagroup.com\/principals\/todd-strawn\/\">Todd Strawn<\/a>, SWA[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>FEATURED<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BjMKdpLFelw\/?taken-by=swa_xl_lab\">Instagram &#8211;
