There are ensuing savings not only within the building footprint but also through transporting lighter materials to site. Some of the products also allow for curved as well as linear-based buildings, so increasing the creative pallet for carbon-neutral architecture.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Discovering innovative research on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FutureMaterials?src=hash\">#FutureMaterials<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ecobuild?src=hash\">#Ecobuild<\/a>, curated by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ARCC_CN\">@ARCC_CN<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EPSRC\">@EPSRC<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/turner_briony\">@turner_briony<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/c5WNyLVybL\">pic.twitter.com\/c5WNyLVybL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ecobuild (@Ecobuild_Now) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ecobuild_Now\/status\/839525997749895173\">March 8, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Tuesday 7 March<\/h2>\n<h3>14:30\u201315:30 BRE Academy, Ecobuild<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"ruled\">Durable low carbon paving brick<\/h3>\n<h4>Professor Eshmaiel Ganjian, University of Coventry<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coventry.ac.uk\/research\/research-directories\/researchers\/eshmaiel-ganjian\/\">Professor Ganjian<\/a> is a Professor of Civil Engineering Materials in the Centre for Low Impact Buildings at the University of Coventry.
