The construction sector is booming. Forecasts predict that the area built on today will double by 2060. But the question is: What will be used to build the future of humanity? Concrete and steel devour vast amounts of resources and produce greenhouse gases on a scale we can no longer afford.

And not infrequently, the building materials of the future are those from the past – combined with state-of-the-art technology.
