Bogota is an important stage for their future and development and on public space its main feature is that it is bichromatic, lifeless, dull and according to psychology, the color of things influences the behavior of the persons, other time the design of public space which is currently in the city is rigid character, orthogonal making it monotonous, few spaces having in the design of floor areas with more friendly for pedestrians designs. On the other hand it is clear that any constructive work generates waste from construction and demolition (RCD) that can be leveraged for reuse and generate an optimal cycle for the environment, but for the case of clays excavation few studies that they have been developed for their use and in terms of quantity are they about 70% of the RCD produced in Bogotá. However, this study is based on the use of this type of waste to reduce the issue of manufacturing costs and generate new environments, a new aesthetic that understands the needs of citizens and help the competitive, sustainable and sustainable development city.
