What if bricks could grow, adapt, and disappear when no longer needed?
This is not science fiction—it’s the future of sustainable architecture.

In Sustainable Facades vol.3, Luis Alfonso Gutierrez Suarez explores how 3D-printed clay can revolutionize construction.
His thesis rethinks traditional methods like the Fachwerkhaus and merges them with additive manufacturing and design for disassembly.

Using local clay, organic insulation like mycelium, and modular design, buildings become:

• Flexible
• Repairable
• Recyclable
• Climate-responsive

Clay components are printed with shadow-optimized geometry and passive cooling in mind.
Inspired by Jenga, these bricks lock, unlock, and slide apart—no demo required.
The vision? Hybrid systems that preserve the past while shaping a circular, low-impact future.
