The project aims to develop a sustainable system for managing sample materials in architecture and design firm libraries. The primary goal is to optimize the lifecycle of these materials by incorporating Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), Health Product Declarations (HPD), and third-party rating systems such as Declare label, Cradle to Cradle (C2C), LEED, and WELL building standards. Additionally, the project seeks to address the issue of surplus materials by creating a streamlined process for their collection and repurposing. This will not only alleviate congestion in design libraries but also divert materials from landfills, transforming them into art projects that enhance community engagement and outreach. By doing so, the project will provide clarity and improved usability for design professionals while promoting sustainable practices.

- A comprehensive report detailing the optimized lifecycle management system for design library materials, including integration with EPD, HPD, and relevant rating systems.

- A practical guide for the collection and repurposing of surplus materials into community art projects.

- A presentation showcasing the benefits of the new system in terms of sustainability and community engagement.

- A prototype or pilot implementation plan for a design library to test the proposed system.
