🌍 Adaptive Fabrication of Bespoke Compressed Earth Blocks 🧱
Advancements in computational design and digital fabrication are reshaping how architects and engineers approach sustainable building. Traditional construction often relies on standardized components, but bespoke geometries can improve performance, aesthetics, and usability. However, customized solutions usually demand specialized machinery and high costs, which limit accessibility in low-resource or remote settings. This research explores a novel fabrication method that leverages conventional Compressed Earth Block (CEB) presses with additively manufactured molds to produce customized blocks without increasing costs or environmental impact. Computational Design and Mass Customization Computational design has opened possibilities for creating complex, optimized geometries that improve both structural integrity and architectural aesthetics. Mass customization allows for the production of unique components at scale, but its practical application in construction remains limited due to ma...
