This latest issue of Concrete Futures magazine includes articles on concrete in a marine environment, the new Future Homes Standard, how low can carbon intensity go and how harvesting structural concrete is a circular economy gamechanger.
Reef encounters
Concrete has long been an essential material for marine construction. Now its ability to mimic natural forms and textures is being used to restore ecosystems.
The look of living
The Future Homes Standard comes into force next March. We explore how our homes could start to look very different as designers, builders and residents adapt to the new rules.

Harvesting structural concrete is a circular economy gamechanger. High-profile projects such as the Euston Tower and 50 Baker Street are showing how it could work.
