In Brazil the most known type of construction is masonry, mud bricks were the most popular way to build something, with the years bricks became block concrete, most of the high building are made of concrete and now because of the globalization glass became a very famous material in most of the new constructions. Bringing new methods of construction to Brazil is very complicated because of the people, which works with that. In construction most of the labors does not have instruction, they did not finish school so their knowledge are from their life experience, making hard to implement new methods of construction. Another point is the price, concrete in Brazil is very cheap so, even that could be possible to use wood, or bamboo people do not have the money necessary to pay for the specialized hand work.
