I believe that it is necessary for our discipline (Architectural Technology) to refer to the technology relevant to the construction sector, because the backbone of our research is the development of components or parts of components, as well as the theoretical-experimental evaluation of performance in a process of continuous optimization. This must translate into a freedom of thought and research that creates a very broad reservoir of knowledge from which the market can draw for the needs of the present or a more or less near future that we do not yet know. I focus my work on a concept of environmental sustainability based on the value of the performance and longevity of the product, but I am convinced that not all research has to follow current trends. Therefore, I thought it appropriate to try to highlight the specifics of technology and innovation with this article as food for thought for the development of research in our field.
