I'm building for myself without concrete, stick-frame or drywall. I decided to go more traditional with stone and timber frame joinery. It's an approach that takes a lot more attention in the labour and is hard to mass produce but will last as close to indefinitely as anything can, as well as being more environmentally friendly.
Doing this has given me a much stronger appreciation for how much we rely on fossil combustion in all the basic infrastructure of our society. Producing things for longevity is going to be a big part of reducing our carbon emissions, otherwise we just need to lug all that heavy concrete or steel or whatever around again every couple decades when we remake the poorly made things.
