Biomanufactured BricksAssistant architecture professor Ginger Krieg Dosier recently unveiled a new breed of biologically "grown" bricks that are durable, sustainably manufactured, and easily produced from readily available materials. Called "Better Bricks," the building material can be "grown" from sand, common bacteria, calcium chloride, and urea (yes, the stuff in your pee) instead of being baked, which consumes a ton of energy. The concept, which recently won Metropolis Mag's 2010 Next Generation design competition, may seem simple, but it has the potential to have a global impact when you consider that producing the 1....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/researcher-grows-durable-bio-bricks-from-sand-bacteria-and-urea/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
