Urban Terrazzo

Whenever an old building has to be demolished or its core partially removed, an enormous amount of demolition waste is produced. 

What seems like a pile of rubble, which usually ends up on our local dump sites, can actually be the beginning of a great new material story ... 

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. The urban waste is analyzed by its color, structure and visual quality to become the basis for a new unique piece of Urban Terrazzo.
