Abstract (EN): In contemporary architecture there is a growing interest in exploring unique forms and constructive solutions, which could hardly be conceived and materialized until recently. Operating in this context, the construction industry has tried to innovate by inventing new materials aside with rethinking existent ones. In this second scenario, given that the use of CAD/CAM technologies have opened new possibilities for traditional materials, it becomes important to ask if cork could face similar innovative opportunities. The present paper synthesizes some of the main arguments, experiments and results obtained in a PhD thesis about that question.
