Bloco Cobogó
Elemento de construcción a partir de residuos de mármol desechados
El Bloco Cobogó es un proyecto desarrollado en la Universidad de Oporto en colaboración con TCC Whitestone. Se trata de un elemento de diseño modular para construcción y decoración, creado a partir de residuos de mármol desechados. Adecuado para arquitectos, diseñadores de interiores y empresas de construcción, promueve la sostenibilidad al reintegrar hasta el 70% de los residuos en el ciclo de producción, reduciendo el impacto medioambiental. Su innovación radica en la aplicación del Diseño Distributivo, garantizando la escalabilidad y replicabilidad en la industria a la vez que fomenta una economía circular.
