Design and Construction - Economical aspects
Involvement of architects in sustainability:
How to maximise the benefits of high quality bricks and tiles
Many architects and builders are aware that they have to understand the sustainable issues associated with construction. These concepts must be analysed and incorporated at the design stage.
In the first instance, they must take into account “general criteria” such as
the orientation of the building, the climate, etc.
Then, they must design the building and choose the materials with which they hope to
achieve a sustainable construction.

Building with bricks and tiles asserts our European identity and at the same time, makes for durable and high quality construction.
With clay building products, builders can be sure that they will be using environmentally friendly products that will give them freedom to create diversity of form, colour and texture. This can lead to new forms of building that integrate cultural values in a sustainable way.
Architects must take advantage of the possibilities that clay building materials can
offer! They can lead to the creation of an innovative and flexible architecture that can
also provide a sustainable option for our present and future needs.
