Material transitions in architecture and construction

Date of publication: 12/20/2024

Modern architecture and construction methods create an ever-increasing demand for reinforced concrete, generating huge amounts of CO2 emissions. Today, material consumption in the construction sector is responsible for approximately 5-10 % of globals CO2 emissions, 50 % of EU-wide resource consumption, and 60 % of Gemany's waste production.
