Masonry encompasses the building practice of assembling units like brick, stone, and soil into structures. Designers use masonry for both structural systems and expressive facades, leveraging material properties for thermal performance, durability, and aesthetic effect.The community explores masonry across scales: from robotic construction systems and multi-story towers to residential facades that use perforated brick and layered walls for ventilation, privacy, and visual character. Projects demonstrate how traditional masonry techniques integrate with modern design and environmental strategies.
