The next era in human history is the Symbiocene, a period of re-integration between humans and nature. However, this future is not imminent and requires deliberate actions. As it stands, 40% of annual global CO2 emissions are attributed to the built environment, in which 23% of emissions are blamed on concrete, steel, and aluminum (Architecture 2030). If the symbiocene is to take hold, the status-quo of the built environment must change.
