Episode 3: Of living bridges and fiber buildings

Episode 3 shows new ways of building, in which nature not only provides building material, but becomes a designer itself – or even part of architecture. The film shows how building with fibres enables constructions that make do with a minimum of resources. Living trees as load-bearing components of buildings: such hybrid constructions could provide vital cooling in the increasingly hot metropolises of the future.
