The global leading sintered stone brand, Neolith, and the UIC Barcelona LITEIS research group have formed a strategic alliance to boost a sophisticated research agenda aimed at achieving more innovation and sustainability in architecture, both in housing as well as architectural heritage.
Barcelona; June 1, 2022 – Neolith and the UIC Barcelona LITEIS research group have signed a collaboration agreement to do research in innovative and sustainable architectural façades. Present at the signing ceremony were José Luis Ramón, CEO of Neolith Group, David Bueno, Chief Transformation Officer for Neolith, Dr. Alfonso Méndiz, Dean of UIC Barcelona and Vicenç Sarrablo, Chair of the UIC School of Architecture, as well as professors Jordi Roviras and Cristina García Castelao, also from UIC.
The goal with this alliance is to make progress in improving and applying new developments to the new unalterable and sustainable architectural shapes that provide continuous insulation and block direct sunlight. This will lead to significant energy savings with proposals that are resistant to changes in temperature, inalterability with the passing of time and 100% natural materials.
