While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

While a traditional school may take several days just to raise walls, in Malawi a 3D-printed school had its structure ready in 18 hours, welcomed children in June, and showed a new solution to the lack of classrooms.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

Material once seen as a poor man’s choice returns as a climate bet, with red clay replacing part of the gray concrete in modern buildings, hospitals, houses, and a cultural center that transforms tradition into a solution against urban heat.

American company deploys humanoid robots to work live for 8 hours and surprises by showing machines handling packages at an almost human pace while accelerating production on a global industrial scale

Scientists look at the Pacific Ocean and find a signal that worries meteorologists: heat accumulated below the surface may anticipate a strong El Niño, capable of altering rainfall, droughts, and temperatures in various regions of the planet.

How much does it cost to plaster a 102 m² house: project shows an expense of R$ 40.4 thousand with labor, materials, and extras

Germany prepares three giants of 34,000 tons in the North Sea to convert offshore wind energy into high-voltage electricity, in a 6 GW project that will feature converter platforms, HVDC connection, and works scheduled until 2031.

Taller than the Eiffel Tower when in operation, the ship Voltaire lifts giant turbines in the North Sea using a 3,200-ton crane to transform Dogger Bank into the largest offshore wind farm in the world.

In southern Iraq, a structure made solely from marsh plants creates arched halls, dispensing with wood and steel, and showcases an ancient engineering that still challenges modern architecture.
