Concrete is the second most commonly used material in the world after water, and second biggest producer of carbon dioxide (CO2) after fossil fuels. The global constuction industry currently consume 40% of all raw materials, producing 39% of global CO2 emissions and 40% of solid waste in a linear take, make and dispose model of production. Through the use of advanced digital technologies, industrial symbiosis and circular economic models of production we can protect our finite natural resources, reduce emissions and waste and produce stronger, more durable construction materials.Geopolymer is an inorganic polymer binder which can be synthesised through the alkali activation of by-product and waste materials with high aluminosilicate content, widely available elements which make-up more than 75% of the earth's crust. These materials are easily sourced as by-products and waste from a wide range of industrial, agricultural and power generation activities. When combined with by-product and waste aggregate materials it can be used to produce rapid-setting concrete with exceptional strength, durability and chemical resistance.In November 2021 Glasgow will host the biggest event in it's history, The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26). The climate talks will bring together heads of state, climate experts and campaigners to agree coordinated action to tackle climate change. Action such as the decarbonsiation of our construction and foundation industries - cement, paper, glass, ceramics, metals and chemicals.Our project will demonstrate a technology which can deliver on those objectives in addition to nine of the sixteen UN Sustainable Development Goals. It involves the development of a novel, high-performance, low-carbon geopolymer concrete using local by-product and waste materials to 3D print modular concrete components for land-based and floating landscape installations at the Glasgow Science Centre, co-hosts of COP26\. These components, inspired by the hexagonal basalt columns that link Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway with Scotland's Fingal's Cave will serve as seating, planters and shelter as part of the upcoming landscaping works to the Centre's public spaces. They will serve as an iconic backdrop to COP26 demonstrating the use of advanced digital technologies such as material characterisation, inorganic polymer synthesis, parametric modelling and 3D printing to produce high-performance, low-impact building components and as a model for the decarbonsiation of the construction and foundation industries.

混凝土是世界上仅次于水的第二大常用材料，也是仅次于化石燃料的第二大二氧化碳 (CO2) 产生者。目前，全球建筑行业消耗了 40% 的原材料，在线性获取、制造和处置生产模式中产生了全球 39% 的二氧化碳排放量和 40% 的固体废物。通过使用先进的数字技术、工业共生和循环经济生产模式，我们可以保护有限的自然资源，减少排放和浪费，生产更坚固、更耐用的建筑材料。地质聚合物是一种无机聚合物粘合剂，可以通过副产品和废料的碱活化合成，硅铝酸盐含量高，这些元素广泛存在，构成了地壳的 75% 以上。这些材料很容易作为各种工业、农业和发电活动的副产品和废物而获得。当与副产品和废骨料结合使用时，它可用于生产具有卓越强度、耐久性和耐化学性的速凝混凝土。 2021 年 11 月，格拉斯哥将举办其历史上最盛大的活动，即第 26 届联合国气候变化大会 (COP26)。气候谈判将汇集国家元首、气候专家和活动家，商定采取协调行动应对气候变化。我们的建筑和基础行业（水泥、造纸、玻璃、陶瓷、金属和化学品）的脱碳等行动。除了十六个联合国可持续发展目标中的九个目标之外，我们的项目将展示一种可以实现这些目标的技术。它涉及开发一种新型、高性能、低碳地质聚合物混凝土，利用当地副产品和废料来 3D 打印模块化混凝土组件，用于 COP26 共同主办方格拉斯哥科学中心的陆基和浮动景观装置。这些组件的灵感来自连接北爱尔兰巨人堤道和苏格兰芬格尔洞穴的六角形玄武岩柱，将作为座椅、花盆和庇护所，作为即将进行的中心公共空间景观美化工程的一部分。它们将成为 COP26 的标志性背景，展示如何使用材料表征、无机聚合物合成、参数化建模和 3D 打印等先进数字技术来生产高性能、低影响的建筑构件，并作为建筑和地基行业脱碳的典范。
