Finally, many people like Sydney Mainster, designer and director of sustainability at the Durst Organization, and Blaine Brownell, architect and editor of the <em>Transmaterial<\/em> book series found different ways to<a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//viewpoints//recycling-demolition-building-materials///"> repurpose demolition building materials<\/a> like concrete and

For example, Biomason and GXN\u2019s Biocement uses non-modified bacteria to grow a cement-like material, while Brimstone created a cement using carbon-free calcium silicate rock. Over in Germany, researchers at the Dresden University of Technology, created the<a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//projects//researchers-in-germany-construct-the-worlds-first-carbon-concrete-building///"> \u201cCube,\u201d<\/a> the first building made of carbon-reinforced concrete, which is stronger, lighter and customizable.
