Cogeneration, Anthropocene, Xeriscaping, Embedded Carbon, eco-materials... The evolution of our vocabulary - with the invention of new words - reveals our desire to think differently, to reinvent habitat and the city, to build a more sustainable futur. But what are the realities behind these neologisms? Constructing new Wor(l)ds, Saint-Gobain's new podcast series, deciphers some twenty words that describe a rapidly changing world. Behind the words, solutions and innovations for a sustainable future. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    S... for Selective Demolition

    When buildings are demolished, too much waste ends up in landfills. Why? Because of a lack of recycling facilities. To sustain the value of materials, which are the building blocks of tomorrow’s cities, it’s time we changed our approach to deconstruction. Let’s see how selective demolition is the answer to more circular and sustainable buildings. CONSTRUCTING NEW WOR(L)DS, by Saint-Gobain.
