Researchers from Swiss university ETH Zürich have created the facades of a winery in Greece from 13,596 individually placed bricks using a technology they have named “augmented bricklaying”.
Built at the Kitrvs winery in Pydna near the foot of Mount Olympus, the building will be used to process and store wine from the local vineyards.
It’s intricate, semi-transparent brick facades were designed by researchers from Gramazio Kohler Research at ETH Zürich and digital construction company Incon.ai. All 13,596 bricks were individually rotated and tilted to create the overall pattern.
