Textile architecture, an ancient construction technique used since the dawn of civilizations to erect shelters and houses, has undergone revitalization thanks to technological development and the improvement of materials. This construction method, now very popular, stands out mainly in the creation of tensioned roofs on large surfaces, allowing for a structural design with large spaces between support points.
The tensile structure uses a variety of materials, such as PES, PVC, PVDF, thermoplastic polymers and silicone. Recent technologies have improved these raw materials, making them lighter, stronger, more durable and with better thermal and light behavior. Surface treatments improve properties such as reflectance and bending resistance.
Textile architecture, with its diverse applications and outstanding characteristics, stands as an innovative and functional way of approaching construction today.
LEED certification in Latin America has become a key driver of value, efficiency and market differentiation in real estate projects. This article explains what LEED certification is, how the process works in LATAM, the main stages, real costs and timelines, and its impact on asset value and resale potential. A practical guide for developers, investors and project teams seeking sustainable construction under international standards.
EDGE certification is one of the fastest and most effective ways to create efficient buildings, reduce energy, water, and material consumption, and increase property resale value. Developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group, EDGE helps real estate projects lower their environmental impact, reduce operating costs, and support decarbonization efforts. With a streamlined and measurable process, EDGE has become a strategic certification for developers and investors seeking sustainability, profitability, and market differentiation.
Sustainable certifications in Mexico are gaining prominence as a key tool for companies and projects that seek to demonstrate their environmental, social and governance commitment. They are no longer limited to construction alone, but encompass complete processes, operations, products and business models.
