A sustainable building material made from highly recyclable materials that are environmentally friendly
Safe products without harmful chemicals
Artellion is an eco-friendly product as it does not contain any harmful chemicals that put a strain on the environment.
Highly recyclable with aluminium base
Artellion panels are made from aluminium, which means they are highly reusable and reduce waste. Aluminium is also relatively easy to recycle, so even if it does end up being disposed of, it reduces the burden on the environment.
An eco-friendly material that can reproduce the texture of wood
Artellion's surface treatment technology allows us to reproduce a variety of textures, including wood and metal. It is gaining attention as an eco-friendly alternative to wood building materials.
The Importance of Sustainability in Architecture
The future calls for intuitive sustainability
Excerpt from an interview with Kengo Kuma (opens in a new window)
Until now, architectural standards have been about looking cool. Simply put, there were only two criteria - coolness and ease of use - but now it's sustainability.
In short, it seems to me that the most important criteria now emerging are what role architecture plays for the global environment, what positive and negative effects it has.
As these standards are increasingly spreading among ordinary people, we get asked these questions a lot, and designers and architects always have to be able to answer them.
I feel strongly that we are now in an era where architects alone cannot always have the answers; rather, it is up to the creators and architects to prepare and provide a variety of answers.
It is necessary to indicate some kind of approach to sustainability from the very beginning of the design process, and there are various ways to calculate sustainability, for example, how much CO2 is emitted or life cycle energy, but I think what will be needed from now on is a kind of intuitive sustainability, such as a use of materials that gives an intuitive feeling that this is sustainable.
