This also causes problems for our environment; after all, concrete is a real climate killer. The construction industry's hope is now on carbon concrete. What is this new construction method about and will it be able to prevail? We are looking forward to our interview with carbon concrete expert Dr. Alexander Schumann.
Road construction is something that each of us encounters every day. Roads are torn up, patched up, and re-laid – all the time! Especially on highways, there are permanent construction sites to renew roads. But isn't that a waste? Why do roads have to be redone so often? Is the recycling of roads possible, especially in the case of asphalt? If you are interested in the topic, feel free to read on!

An expert on eyesore buildings, Turit Fröbe, gives us an insight into slightly different architecture. We look forward to it!
After smartphones and smartwatches, smart homes have now arrived in our everyday lives. We wonder: How does a smart home work? How advanced is the technology and above all: How safe is it? Can something still be sustainable with so much technology? Our guest, Mario Necker, is an expert in this field and gives us exciting insights into the present and future of Smart Homes.
Hand on heart – the construction industry is a real climate killer. It produces more CO2 than most other technical industries. Therefore, something needs to change urgently!
