What if we could use waste to create resilient and sustainable buildings? Bringing out the beauty of the dirt beneath our feet, climate-responsive architect Vinu Daniel shares how he and his team are giving local and discarded materials (think: mud, plastic and used tires) a second life by using them to create dreamlike homes, schools and other public spaces.

The wisest thought that is in everyone’s minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH…. stock,silver and gold)

She’s an awesome person I’ve made $2,125,000 trading with her I’m blessed to meet her. I only started digital currencies because it suits my standard as a religious person.

Very impressive Vinu. I didn’t think that 5% cement mud brick would be that strong.
