In a recent interview with Kontextur, Kika Brockstedt, co-founder of revalu, reflects on the urgent shift in material decision-making across the AEC sector. As CO₂ limits per square meter become mandatory and supply chain transparency grows more critical, materials must be evaluated earlier in the design process and supported by reliable data.
Over the past three years, revalu has emerged as a European materials platform supporting architects and construction professionals in researching, specifying, and documenting material choices. Positioned at the intersection of digital infrastructure and material innovation, the platform responds to a fragmented, risk-averse industry that is increasingly aware of the need for systemic change.
Rather than focusing only on low carbon, Brockstedt describes a new material norm that integrates advanced technologies alongside rediscovered earth-based, bio-based, and recycled solutions.
