Material Cultures  architect group have a long association with HG Matthews and used Strocks at The Design Museum  for their Waste Age  exhibition.


According to the Design Museum:


“What had the biggest carbon footprint in the whole exhibition build? The screws. Building Waste Age took 4,800 standard stainless steel decking screws to hold everything together. They had an impact of 1.9 tonnes CO2e – roughly 7% of the total exhibition footprint. Using a timber frame system instead of a standard aluminium frame saved 1.5 tonnes CO2e, and reduced the impact by about two thirds. Using unfired bricks instead of fired bricks saved 6 tonnes CO2e, the second most significant saving after switching to renewable electricity”


Strocks have been used for many temporary exhibitions including the V&A and the Science Museum. One of the great strengths of Strocks is their low embodied energy making their use in short or long lived structures particularly compelling.
