Anand Pandian, Eaten by Ants | 'Concrete, steel, and glass, the signature materials of modern construction, lend architectural structures a feeling of permanence, the ability to defy the ebb and flow of nature. But these are also materials responsible for the enormous carbon footprint of the construction sector, and its profound effect on the changing climate. These materials are also resources extracted from far-flung places, making every gleaming new building a symbol of international networks of control and exploitation.' https://thisismold.com/series/metabolism/eaten-away-by-ants
