Architectural designs are not just collections of 3D objects. Architects have both high-level aesthetic design intent, and intent for the functionality of the building; these must eventually translate into real-world construction materials and processes. Physical prototypes are still essential for the architect and their clients to get a feel for whether designs “work”. An exciting recent devel...

Insulated faux brick (IFB) is an improvement on traditional that aims to further reduce weight and installation time while providing insulation characteristics beyond brick. Current production of insulated corner bricks relies human workers apply adhesive press together two end pieces until the has dried. This a time-consuming step which not easily scalable higher rates. research explored poten...
