Jose Rojas at the Design Academy Eindhoven:

btw...what is a non-brutal manner?

check out the weingut gantenbeim by Bearth & Deplazes, the brick-laying robot (developed by the ETH Zürich) made the brick on this building like a transparant skin.

for more on gramazio & kohler's brick laying robot (for the b&d designed winery) check this

sommer + sommer architekten

there is soemthing about the scale of this project that makes me really giddy...

anyone want to throw down some curved brick examples other than what's been posted above? something in the same vein as dieste but more recent. bonus points for curves in multiple directions.

not clear from the picture i posted above, but look back at roto's prairie a&m architecture school above, ether.

thanks steven. that's actually fairly close to what we are trying to pull off.

Is some of that curvy roto stuff solid or veneer? Awesome stuff, either way.

Curves off veritical in multiple directions... with a veneer, how is that detailed? Leaning off vertical, do typ. wall ties, etc. provide adequate support?
