Do you know if they are looking into large-scale 3d-printing of housing units? I saw a prospect on huge printers some 10 years back or so, seemed interesting if only as a niche product.
Here, we still use wood when building houses (outside of cities that is) since a well-built wood/log house lasts at least 400 years. In the village my mother is from, the oldest houses still in use have parts from the 12th century. Coated with Falu Rödfärg (Falu Red) every ten to fifteen years the wood won't rot, and insects won't attack it. The paint is made from mineral sludge mixed with linseed oil, originally from mine tailings and leftovers.
I wonder what future archeologists will say about the materials and construction science of the twentieth century.
