Constructing New Wor(l)ds [English]

Cogeneration, Anthropocene, Xeriscaping, Embedded Carbon, eco-materials... The evolution of our vocabulary - with the invention of new words - reveals our desire to think differently, to reinvent habitat and the city, to build a more sustainable futur. But what are the realities behind these neologisms?

Constructing new Wor(l)ds, Saint-Gobain's new podcast series, deciphers some twenty words that describe a rapidly changing world. Behind the words, solutions and innovations for a sustainable future.
