3D Bricks Puzzle Series

Description

The cool brick masonry system mimics the effect of water-filled ceramic vessels. Each porous and lattice-like ceramic brick is 3D printed. Modular and interlocking, the bricks create a strong bond when set in mortar and they absorb water in their micro-pores with a sponge-like effect. As air passes through the brick’s lattice structure, water held in the micro-pores evaporates, bringing cold air into the interior environment and lowering the temperature via the process of evaporative cooling. Furthermore, the printed brick shapes create shaded surfaces on the wall, helping to keep the surface cool and protected from the sun.
