It wasn’t the design or the building method.

Kind of like the "stem cell researchers."

They are so absolutely certain that fetal stem cells are going to be the key to some extraordinary medical treatment.

Other manufacturers have been successful:

It seems as though the alkali in concrete could negatively affect hemp cellulose; it wouldn’t be my choice of reinforcement.

Mighty Buildings in the link above have built in earthquake zones. They have steel frames reinforcing 3D printed panels. Panels are shipped and assembled on-site.

Workers have done a similar thing at the factory where I work. If a new room is needed a man delivers panels on a flat bed truck and two workers take the panels and bolt them together.

No need for any more people to do the construction.

Check out what is used for aggregate in the lightweight concrete used in floors in multi-floor buildings.

Then you’ll know why so much dust was generated when the Twin Towers collapsed.
