Anti-seismic(?) building = expensive, complicated, elitist, until today.
Vs.
Gravity = anti-seismic(!), economical, simple, affordable, as of today.
In this section, we illustrate the major practical applications of Gravity.
We are looking for companies to exploit the potential of its patent, develop it and become leaders in the anti-seismic construction sector
If, on the other hand, you are interested in the principles of its functioning, click below;
we look for institutions to deepen their dynamics and enter the history of earthquake engineering by writing the new rules.

Timber
(also for the infill walls)
a different brick for sustainable construction
Bricks
In today's construction, despite the thousands of innovative techniques, brick remains the prince of construction, second only to reinforced concrete.
From infill walls to any other external wall or internal wall, this product is sold in billions of pieces a year, but it is always produced in terracotta or with cementitious conglomerates.
Wooden bricks?
The wooden brick, to date, simply does not exist.
We have never made bricks with wood, because wood is not compatible with the use of mortars, and has been excluded from the universe of mass structural construction due to this difficulty of integrated use.
The first tests seem to confirm the validity of using Gravity to use wooden bricks in walls, partitions, cladding and many other situations that have been closed up to now.
Benefits for the environment
Timber nowadays occupies a thousand positions and areas in the construction field, but they are always all niches, specific and limited spaces.
A wall without mortars and chemical additives is the goal of those who are aware of the risks of allergies and pollution given by the products contained in the chemical binders.
Wood is the only truly green building material, as it is the only one that grows back.
Advantages for the timber sector
Wooden bricks would lead to an optimization of the use of this basic material, and to a reduction in production costs.
The production of bricks,
which do not require elastic properties,
would make it possible to use
even the least valuable woods,
and to use all the less noble parts
of the material,
that are now thrown away.
The impact of the entry of wood into mass construction could literally change this market.
When the big players
in the world of wood include Gravity in their R&D plans for the commercialization of wooden walls,
this page will probably become the introduction to an entire library.
