THIS CAN LEAD TO MISUSE AND TO THE IMPROPER IMPLEMENTATION OF THOSE MATERIALS IN A WAY THAT COUNTERACTS THEIR NATURAL INTENT.IN USING MATERIALS IN THIS COUNTERACTIVE NATURE THIS BRINGS ABOUT QUESTIONS TO THE MATERIALS INTEGRITY AND HONESTY, AND OF THOSE WHO WOULD ALLOW THIS.IT CAN BE SAID THAT MUCH OF THIS HAP-HAZZARD USE IS BECAUSE OF OUR CURRENT HIGH- PACED LIFESTYLE, BUT THERE IS A DEEP CAUSE TO THE MATERIALS MISUSEANDSUBSEQUENTLY THE PRODUCTION OF SUB-PAR ARCHITECTURE THAT IS PLAGUING THE UNITED STATES.THIS PROJECT IS AN EXPLORATION PUBLIC ENTRY OF HOW MATERIALS CAN BE USED IN AN HONEST WAY WHILE IMBUING THE PROPERTIES OF MASS PRODUCTION AND PREFABRICATION TO PRODUCE MEANINGFUL ARCHITECTURE.
