Research an evolving technology for construction.

Research may include

• materials
  • alternate materials for insulation (e.g., spray foam, wool, sawdust)
  • glass (e.g., for windows, solar arrays, etc.)
  • earth-bag material for homes
  • self-healing materials
  • polymers
    
    
• equipment
  • drones
  • robots
    
    
• techniques
  • virtual reality
  • 3D printing.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What are examples of emerging materials in construction?
• How is virtual reality used in construction?
• What are the reasons for using an alternative material?
