This interview highlights the company’s role in developing advanced solutions for the construction sector, industry and heritage conservation.

TESELA and innovation in building materials

The interview covered key aspects that have shaped the company’s development, from its origins as a spin-off linked to the University of Granada to its establishment as a firm specialising in advanced solutions. Particular emphasis was placed on the company’s current focus on innovation in sustainable building materials, in line with the challenges of the green transition and the circular economy.

TESELA and materials science in historical heritage

One of the key themes of the interview was the role of materials science in the conservation of historical heritage. The importance of moving towards performance-based approaches, rather than the literal reproduction of traditional materials, was highlighted. This paradigm shift enables the development of solutions that are more durable, compatible and respectful of the cultural values of heritage assets.
