MIT engineers are aiming to make construction more sustainable by developing reusable bricks made from 3D-printed recycled glass.
These bricks lock together like Lego pieces, making it easy to build and take apart structures.
Each brick has two round pegs that enable them to lock together without glue.
Tests by MITshowed that one glass brick can handle pressure similar to that of regular concrete blocks.
We’re showing this is an opportunity to push the limits of what’s been done in architecture."
We have more understanding of what the materials limits are, and how to scale, Stern says.
