  Stone. It’s natural, subject only to the slow erosion of time.

    Caves. We should all live in caves.

      unfortunately there aren’t that nany caves out there and it’s hard to build new.

        Yes, but most of us are going to die in climate change and water wars pretty soon.

    I’d bet wood is better since if you use it for construction and farm it you can theoretically use it as a carbon sink, and it’s renewable.

    What’s the delta on mining and shaping stone vs lumber is the question

      Well stone lasts forever barring someone turning big stones into little stones. So I think stone might still come out on top

    While I’m a big fan of stone, I do have complicated feelings on the mining industry, so I’m not sure about how sustainable it is.

  Honestly, whatever makes the most sense with the materials in the local area. And then I don’t mean what you can get from the local hardware store, but literally, what the earth in the area provides. If you have lots of clay, then brick would be best. If you have lots of big stones, then stone construction it’ll be. If you’re deep in the woods, then a wooden building would serve you just right. Maybe a combination of materials and techniques if you have options in the area.

  Bonus points if you can build in a way that passively optimises for managing things like moisture and temperature.

    Thisss! You don’t need to invent some crazy futuristic material when humans have been building sustainably for millenia. All you have to do is look into: 1. what material is avaible in the area? and 2. what enviromental factors do you need to take into account? If you’re building in a hot area, the house needs to be able to stay cool. If you’re building in a cold area, the house needs to be able to stay warm.

  Cob and rammed earth are hard to beat if you’ve got the right environment for them

        you definitely don’t want a subscription based building. oh wait

      The mud bricks. They are BY FAR the cheapest to procure. No transportation fee because it’s right next to your house, and no materials fee because it’s free from the earth. It lasts decades with only minor patchwork repair needed. Anyone can do it and you can literally put up a house in a few days. It’s so good at insulation it hardly needs any AC or Heating. So your costs are absurdly low compared to any other building material. You can straight up put up a house for $10k
