Together with Lennart Fischer, I have published a new paper on the socio-technical visions of a (future) bio-based construction sector. We examine these visions, focusing on how they are legitimized in Germany, Italy, India and China.

The construction sector is at a crossroads, searching for pathways to smarter material use — whether bricks, steel, concrete, or wood. While technical solutions and innovative concepts exist, their widespread adoption lags. Actors, institutions, and collective perceptions of crisis matter.
