Scientists Want to Build Cities Using Lava from Volcanoes

Lava emitted from active volcanoes has historically been known as a dangerous, unstoppable natural force. There are many instances where lava flows have destroyed buildings and settlements. But what if this power of lava could be controlled to build new cities? An Icelandic architectural firm, S APP Architecture, has come up with such a bold idea. They presented this concept at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale.
