Hello and welcome to the 19,000+ readers of Material Depot weekly. We are just 1000 subscribers away from reaching a new milestone 🙂 Great to see y’all here. 4 months for the year to end, and we are here with another edition of Material Weekly. How have you been?
At Material Depot we usually talk about materials that are manufactured and sometimes, those are not the only solutions we have when we approach construction. A good portion of India is still rural, and the way they construct today many times is inspired by the urban cities. Our editorial team looked at the flip side of this dichotomy this week.
We explored materials by region this time on Material Depot, and we believe you will love it. Check out our latest articles that celebrate Leh & Ladakh, Tamil Nadu, Arunachal Pradesh, Kerala, Assam, and many more here.
With that out of our way, let’s begin our this week’s Material Weekly!
