Innovative heat-dispersing clay bricks help keep homes naturally cool

A new innovative brick is paving the way towards more comfortable, affordable, and sustainable architectural solutions in hot climates.

Colombian architects Miguel Niño and Johanna Navarro of Sumart Diseño y Arquitectura SAS designed BT - Bloque Termodisipador (HB - Heatsink Brick), a type of clay brick that helps keep buildings naturally cool through smart design.

Made with an irregular shape, the brick’s angled and perforated form not only improves the building’s thermal comfort, but also helps reduce material waste and construction time.
