La tecnica materiale del cotto verso i nuovi orientamenti costruttivi

The architecture and the industry of constructions have appropriated some in partnership innovation to the progress in technological filed, rediscovering in the constructive identity, in the treatment of the surfaces, in the workmanship, every Material, which is manifested in the product, component, system, and Technical therefore, evident in contemporary architectural production.
The orientations are different: from and hoc design of industrial materials for the construction sector, looking for new applications of traditional materials for families that can still be obtained from mining or cutting.
The trial production, along which a renewed interest in design for the “materiality” constructive stroke, thus, the new paths of innovation. It’s from this point that triggers the need and the search for new forms of matter and, therefore, new languages to the envelope. Among the traditional materials, innovative, handled in their appearance and advanced in their use, it certainly has a prominent place the terracotta, remained unchanged over the years in its molecular structure, but which, together with the support of national and international architects, together with changes in production techniques, continues to spark interest.
Among the national companies in the sector, Sannini project, the emblem of an innovative mechanism, as evidenced by the evolution of the company, was founded for the production of paving brick and arrives, again using craft techniques, the use of terracotta façade systems, impacting on the current language of construction material for the envelope, in Italy and abroad. The strong technology-based rehabilitation of brick, now suggests the need for a more mature reflection on the responsible use of technical equipment for the project and their possible expressive power, construction and performance.
