“What happens on Earth stays on Earth”: This Kendrick Lamar lyric unexpectedly grounds a conversation on sustainability and embodiment between architect Nzinga Biegueng Mboup and designer Seetal Solanki. The two find common ground in the multiplicity of their respective backgrounds and their shared love for materials; together they discuss the surprising fluidity of architectural materials, how a material’s locality can teach us about sustainability, and how we might reacquaint ourselves with the indigenous knowledge systems of the landscapes in which we build and live.
