Episode 1 shows how building with concrete could become more climate-friendly in the future, for example with textile reinforcement instead of steel. An important model for the concrete of the future could lie in the past: in the opus caementicium, the ancient Roman concrete. But there is another way: clay has a favourable indoor climate, but above all its production is much more environmentally friendly than building with concrete.
