The contribution focuses on the trend that is developing with increasing prominence in contemporary architecture towards the use of materials and technologies from sectors other than the specific field of construction. This phenomenon has also characterized the evolution of architecture in the past, and thus cannot be considered an exclusive characteristic of the current period. Today, however, the accelerated scientific and technological development taking place in various fields of research and the awareness of the need to limit resource consumption lead to widespread experimentation with new solutions new solutions focused precisely on innovation in the use of materials. Of particular interest in this contribution is the spillover into the compositional sphere of experiments made at the level of materials and technologies, from the case of the Strawbale House by Sarah Wigglesworth and Jeremy Till (London) to the Dominus Winery by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (Yountville, California) and the Curtain House by Shigeru Ban (Tokyo).
