Pattern #5 Local Materials 4. Develop a Pattern Language With Wholeness as a Guide Issue Statement Modernity has assumed it is OK to use building materials from anywhere in the world. On the other hand, a wide use of locally available materials has many benefits on multiple levels. L Solution Statement Promise to only utilize materials that are available within a 500-mile radius, preferably those that are present on ALF land. Do not ship local materials out of the area for fabrication or refinement, and strive to do as little processing as THE KUBALA WASHATKO ARCHITECTS, INC. possible. The acquisition process for local materials must be regenerative, i.e. the place where materials are removed must be better off after the acquisition than before.
