This unit introduces students to the concept of eco-friendly materials in construction, focusing on cutting-edge innovations transforming sustainable architecture. It is divided into three sections: "Explore" introduces foundational concepts of eco-materials and sustainable construction. "Execute" delves into bio-inspiration, showcasing how natural processes inspire solutions and how Augmented Reality (AR) can visualize these processes and impacts, supported by real-world examples and practical activities. "Enhance" justifies the pedagogical benefits of AR, offering examples of useful AR applications and practical integration strategies. The unit culminates in a hands-on exercise where students use a gamified AR experience in Delightex to strengthen their understanding and engagement with the topic.
