Description
Concrete is a ubiquitous building material, relatively economical, adaptable, and maintainable, but it comes with a heavy environmental price tag. Since it’s not departing anytime soon, we need to be smarter when designing with concrete and integrate practical steps that will reduce waste, improve longevity, and include eco-friendly mixes into projects.
