This is a feature that all modern, sustainable buildings aspire to: using local, proximity-sourced materials... promoting circularity in the construction process and drastically reducing the construction’s carbon footprint. Quality and durability of the materials? Let’s not forget that the highly admired MALLORCA'S CATHEDRAL is built with these very materials! |
