This has long been a dream for architects. Back in the 60's Fritz Haller produced a building system for the Swiss company USM. If you've ever played with the fischer-price toy Construx you know exactly what it was like. The USM building system consisted of three sizes of connections, interfaces and panels. Each panel would be surrounded on four sides by four connection beams, and four interfaces at the corners. Build up enough of these together and you could put together a building. Sadly, the building system was too far ahead of its time. But they did build furniture for inside the factory, which was a huge seller. If you speak German, there's a great talk about the USM systems history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZNbJoI2DuE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZNbJoI2DuE
