Reused ceramics transform interiors and reinforce sustainable architecture in Brazil

In the field of architecture and construction, the concept of reusing materials is closely linked to the circular economy and reducing the carbon footprint, paving the way for a more sustainable and responsible future. By incorporating practices of recycling, recovery, restoration and/or reuse of demolition materials, resource efficiency, combined with reduced energy consumption, makes it possible to experiment with techniques, applications and new materials that honor the memory of spaces, while bringing new life to interiors and exteriors.

Although renovations have become a specialty of the architects of the future, the development of such interventions reveals the creation of spatial dynamics where the reuse of original materials often provides new living conditions. It also opens the door to more sustainable approaches linked to the future of construction and awareness of environmental care. Numerous examples of Latin American housing demonstrate how the concept of circular economy forms the basis of these initiatives. The reuse of materials such as ceramics, marble, furniture, wood and others shows the vast potential of interior design, dialoguing with elements, techniques or textures from other eras. This also promotes the development of everyday practices that contribute to reducing environmental impact.
