Essential Homes Research Project,
The housing concept was designed by Norman Foster for displaced communities who are used to living in temporary settlements for years, providing the necessary needs of safety, comfort, and well-being.
The designed prototype is extremely sustainable and emits 70% less CO2 than conventional buildings. It is low-carbon, energy-efficient, and circular, incorporating a variety of Holcim sustainable building solutions.

Just a quick note to followers, although I am following The Ocean Race, I likely won’t be blogging about it. There is only so many hours in the day!
Frankly, using the IMOCA foils in the Southern Ocean on a super LONG leg seems to me a recipe for disaster because the ability to slow down and not speed up is key.
Talk about alarms ringing and being in continual crisis management on the boats. Thank g*d they are using an autopilot to steer the boats, because the crews have enough to contend with…And let’s not talk about difficulties eating, drinking, being sea sick while attending to one’s natural needs combined with the biggest sleep deficits known to sailors.
Anyway, I sincerely hope that I am wrong about this iteration of The Ocean Race. Especially since they have announced that the IMOCAs will be used for the next iteration of the The Ocean Race and the The Ocean Race Europe as well.
NO BETS on the number of boats who will actually finish this race.

Concrete cartel boosts costs, stifles supply
According to a federal antitrust investigation, Swiss firm Holcim’s India units and more than a dozen other cement makers conspired for years to raise prices and restrict supplies, including frequently examining one another to ensure there was no infringement of the agreements.
The Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) investigations arm has found top executives — CEOs or Managing Directors — of Holcim companies ACC and Ambuja, market leader UltraTech, and 17 other firms such as Shree Cement and Dalmia Cement responsible for antitrust offenses.
The inquiry report, released last month and obtained by Reuters, is the final but most important stage of the CCI investigation, which began in 2019. The report, which is not public, will now be evaluated by CCI’s top three officials, who have the authority to levy sanctions and will provide corporations with one last opportunity to defend themselves.
