URBAN TERRAZZO is an innovative material which transforms the remains of architectural debris into a new surface material for architecture and design. Urban waste — such as concrete, bricks and other building materials — is carefully selected and reassembled by the principles of traditional terrazzo-making, supported by contemporary technological innovation. Ultra High Performance Concrete gives structural stability to old remains, while grounded pigments from old bricks preserve the unique character of the former architecture.
