What Our Buildings Will Look Like in the Future

The video explores innovative alternatives to traditional concrete, highlighting six materials: synthetic bone, mycelium bricks, 3D printed epoxy resin bricks, Ashcrete, wool-seaweed reinforced clay bricks, and pollution absorbing bricks. Each material offers unique benefits and challenges, aiming to reduce environmental impact and improve sustainability in construction. While some materials are futuristic, others are more practical and closer to market readiness. The video emphasizes the need for diverse solutions to make construction more eco-friendly.
