Living Bricks

Published 2023-03

Making concrete a “living organism” is another possible way to replace carbon-intensive traditional cement.

Verdict

renamedThe same phenomenon is listed again within two editions under a new name (D33).

Continued as ftsg-tech-trends-2024-344

Living concrete continues in the same Green Materials slot as Self-Healing Materials (concrete that repairs itself); the 2024 group otherwise repeats 2023 (CLT, Mycelium, Lab-Grown Leather); low certainty.

A trend is graded on whether the publisher keeps it, never as a hit or a miss (D6, D33).
