So there are some "green" concretes being developed that actually operate as carbon sinks, and damn am I ready for a real green brutalism to come roaring in.
Use green concrete, it's really good insulation, and plant some fucking plants on every flat surface. Hell yes.
It's something I recently learned about, this is a brief overview of a material constructed using soil and an adhesive made from cellulose that makes it a 3D-printable material. Right now it isn't load bearing, so its use is very limited.
Seems a bit pie-in-the-sky of an idea for now, but the future is near.

this is the only form of brutalism i like (is it still brutalism? idk)
the giant geometric shapes contrasting with the organic plant life makes my brain go "yeah this is nice ngl"
Anywhere I can learn about green concrete? I know there's hempcrete but its uses are comparatively limited iirc.

What was wrong with regular old-fashioned stabilized earth?
It really doesn't need to be modernized with new synthetic additives.
Lime mortar, limecrete, or maybe even hempcrete if you want to go extra carbon-negative.
