From the robust textures of the Great Wall’s ancient bricks to the meticulous assembly of Roman arches, masonry has long stood as a testament to human ingenuity and aesthetic vision. A cross-disciplinary team at CUHK has reinterpreted traditional craftsmanship through technology—CU-Brick. By integrating cable-driven robotics and automated programming, this innovation breathes new life into traditional bricklaying techniques in the digital age. The system accurately replicates the profound understanding of geometric structures mastered by historical artisans and sparks a dynamic interplay between modern engineering and creative inspiration. Bricklaying transcends mere repetitive stacking, evolving into an innovative dialogue that bridges engineering, architecture, and art—unleashing unprecedented creative potential for future architectural masterpieces.
