By using natural materials, experts can design and build structures that can adapt to local climates' needs and not just serve as cookie-cutter houses. The new eco-friendly tech can also provide dignified shelters to the neediest people across the globe.
It can also reduce the need to transfer concrete materials in long distances, further lessening the buildings' environmental effect. Banerjee said that the research team is currently progressing in improving the soil's load-bearing capabilities.
He also said that they are also planning to use the method to build structures on other planets, once they have a better idea of the new technology's limits.
