Documentary block and information forum devoted to modular rigid coverings and the technology for their installation. The Guide provides up-to-date information on materials, techniques, covering systems, and construction solutions with modular rigid finishes. Its contents, drawn up by IPC, are based on publications, company contributions, and the collaboration of experts. The Guide contains help questionnaires for the selection of materials and techniques, diagnostics of substrates, and debate forums on topical subjects of interest.
- Questionnaire: Selection of ceramic tiles
- Questionnaire: Characterisation and diagnosis of substrates
- Forum: Adhesion and deformability
- Forum: Which tile for which use
- Video: The Legacy of the Muslim Master Builders
Based on a cataloguing of Spanish architectural ceramics conducted by IPC since 1992 and currently in a final stage, this documentary block ranges far beyond the History of Architectural Ceramics. It contains: Spectrums of leitmotifs, Industrial Ceramic Archaeology, construction techniques of the past, ceramic heritage restoration technology, and the Art and Science of Plane Partitions.
This section is designed to become a debate forum on the use of ceramics in building construction and urban furnishing, in every time and place.

Documentary section open to handcrafted Creative Ceramics, in their technical and formal aspects. This section seeks to provide a source of information for those that enter Ceramics without any previous training and to become a reference point for the introduction of that discipline in classrooms, for students and for leisure. It will include abundant audio-visual content.
Activation scheduled for 2012
