You realize there are lots of brick houses out there and those things aren't run through the brick walls either right?
2x4 dimensional lumber framing is used inside and those are run through the studs.
- mikeg8 6y agoYea but good luck running interior 2x4 furring walls for MEPs (Mechanical, electrical, plumbing) on curved wall structures like this. Would be an absolute carpentry nightmare.
- clairity 6y agocurved wood features and structures are not uncommon, using materials like bamboo and engineered wood. it’s not easy and requires specialized skills, but it’s not a nightmare. and flexible wood structures tend to be more resilient on a per-mass basis.
- magikaram 6y agoIt would also be a nightmare on a curved brick wall, or curved cement structure. The point of the shown technology was the experiment and the potential of it, not the specifics of this single architectural design.
- JAlexoid 6y agoThis is a POC and an art project. Stop with this arrogance, because I can bet that your POC are nowhere near as good looking.
- surgeryres 6y agoYes true, but brick and other base material like it is very strong and support fixtures to attach ducting, pipes, cables - I’m not sure you can drill brackets into this mud and safely secure an AC duct or conduit.
- Glawen 6y agoI live in a brick house in Europe, and my plumbing and wire do run in the walls. I just cut the wall, run my wires inside and cover with plaster.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoYour plumbing and wires are actually embedded into the brick walls? Not just a hole through the brick, but they are actually completely within the brick walls themselves?
