Responsibility of the new architecture, acquired challenges of the 20th century

The importance of the environment.

As it is well known, the environment in general and its harmony impact on how human beings develop within a space. By architecturally offering a stimulus, that is, an adequate and dignified space that awakens other senses of the human being, this can enhance and increase the quality of life of the individuals who interact with the space on a daily basis. 

Thinking about creating sensations and transmitting to users, more than just fulfilling the objective of building, is a clear way of taking responsibility as architects in order to have a positive impact on society.

Neuroarchitecture

Neuroarchitecture consists of designing efficient environments, not only taking into account the technological parameters required by each different type of building, but considering subjective indexes such as well-being, happiness and different emotions.

It is about designing spaces based on the emotions and health of the users, an example can be how the design of a school helps students learn better, a hospital helps patients recover faster or work spaces that motivate and make employees feel more focused. 

This not only involves buildings, but also studies the brain behavior, neural mechanism and brain functioning of users with the level of noise, access to green spaces and characteristics of the urban environment.

Objective and challenges

Raising the professionalism of projects made in Mexico is one of the goals of modern architecture. That is why architectural solutions in metal, a material that is nothing new, but used in a different way, more human and taking advantage of the versatility of this product provides multiple options and creative, innovative and unconventional solutions that allow us to motivate Mexican architecture to take on new challenges and different ways of doing things. 

If we take as a reference the architecture of other countries, we can begin to consider how to improve the general environment of our cities, improving the quality of life of the inhabitants from the architect’s trench, providing iconic buildings that add value to the territory and its people.

Materials in cohesion with this responsibility

Architectural metal panels are part of an emerging industry that offers new ways to solve everyday situations in the construction industry in an environmentally conscious manner. 

Metal is a material of extraordinary strength and versatility. These qualities create a great opportunity to incorporate cutting-edge designs that reflect trends in architecture into top-notch projects. 

To get into the importance of the materials to be used in your next project, it is important to know the materials that the market offers, this helps you as an architect or designer to have a broader panorama that allows you to experiment and be creative without limits at the time of proposing any proposal. Know that it is possible to materialize those designs that lie deep in your imagination.
