Bricks could be made from invasive algae

Bridges / roofs could be made from tree roots

Tiles could be made of / eat up smog

Architecture could have airflow, beauty, be community-focused, and create jobs

Modular / prefab construction could become popular

Homes / buildings could be 3-D printed and earthquake-resistant

Nails could be hammered safely

Concrete could absorb rather than release carbon dioxide

Buildings could not collapse in developing countries
