Self-Standing Modular Interlocking Vault Structures_ College of Architecture_TAMU

A design research project by TAMU BUILD Team (Amir Behzadan, Alireza BOrhani, Negar Kalantar, Julian Kang, Zofia Rybkowski, William Palmer and Neeraj Yadav) done at Autodesk BUILD Space in Boston. Two full-scale interlocking arch structures were designed, fabricated with an industrial-scale robot, and assembled. One of the goal of the project was to test a technology-informed approach that facilitates human-robot collaboration to generate and build new forms and functions that are otherwise extremely difficult to create.

These are great exercises for experimental masonry and stereotomy. Stone cuts with those angles are almost impossible tho :p.
We need more of these researchers. They must become popular in the schools of architecture.

Bamboo fabric and banna plant cellulose sponge treated with water activated ceramic. Light weight structure's that can be vacume packed and pressed down that can expand back into shape placed together sprayed down with water that cure rock solid? 😊
