SEED 2026: Forum on Regenerative Architecture and Biomaterials to Be Held in Mexico

About the event

SEED 2026 is a gathering of specialists, practitioners, students, and anyone interested in new approaches to design, where territory, architecture, biomaterials, and regenerative systems are viewed as a single whole. The forum will serve as a platform for exchanging experience among engineers, architects, and researchers working at the intersection of ecology and construction.

Organizer and focus

The initiative comes from SEED Collective (Soil, Earth Regenerative Design) — a Mexican firm with an applied research laboratory. The studio specializes in rammed-earth construction and innovative systems, including structural 3D printing and earth-based concretes. For participants, this is an opportunity to see how traditional materials gain new life through digital technologies.

Key themes

Among the announced directions:

• •the connection between territory and architectural solutions;
• •the use of biomaterials in construction;
• •regenerative systems that restore ecosystems;
• •innovations in 3D printing of buildings and structures.

Context for sustainable construction

Although SEED 2026 focuses on earth-based materials, discussions inevitably intersect with the mass timber agenda and other low-carbon technologies. The search for alternatives to traditional concrete and steel becomes a unifying factor. For professionals in wooden housebuilding, the forum is interesting as a platform for interdisciplinary approaches to regenerative architecture.

Practical significance

Participants will be able to learn about the results of SEED Collective's laboratory research and discuss prospects for scaling rammed-earth technologies and 3D printing. This is important for architects working with sustainable materials in regions with limited resources.
