Casa da Arquitectura

In the second edition of build- from High to Low tech, we will bring new names to the panels, that will enrich the already gathered knowledge on the previous edition. As it already happened in 2022, the event will allow the viewers to learn from world renowned designers and learn how high-quality architecture can mitigate the impacts of climate change and deal with the industry evolution.In addition to the panels, this second edition will also count with showcases of materials and manufacturers related with the thematics of sustainability. This way, we intend to bring architects closer to the solutions.

This system has a superior environmental and energetic performance than standard solutions and also a high capacity of energetic and fabrication customization. It's a biomaterial that stores carbon during it's manufacturing process, resulting in a carbon negative footprint. The GUL slab is at the same time a thermal and energetic insulation as well as water drainage and retainer enhancer. These agglomerates are produced from industry by-products, promoting a circular economy.
