Sumario:This work presents a review of the scientific literature that deals with the use of nanoscience and nanotechnology in architecture and construction industryinviewoflettingarchitects,builders,realestate promoters and interested parties know the scope that various nanomaterials, existing in the construction marketcould beusedinthisactivities every-day froma sustainable and durable approach to architecture and construction. As a result we present, in an orderly and classified manner, a list of nano-products that can be applied to architecture and construction in building structures, covers and installations with an approach basedonthearchitectonicandconstructivedurabilityof each component. It is concluded that there are numerous nano-products with different uses and applicationssufficientforsome constructionneeds,with important applications such as: improvement of the durabilityanddegradationofmaterials(mainlyconcrete andsteel),theefficiencyofequipmentanddevicessuch as batteries, photovoltaic cells, electrical conductors, OLED lamps, water filters, paints, sealants, windowpanes, electronical components, architectural finishes,amongotherproducts.
