Smart Bricks - A New Way to Build

Smart Brick is a revolutionary brick and the basis of a new construction system covered by issued and pending US patents.

The brick is amenable for building houses, buildings, bridges and more.. The block is constructed of high-strength concrete with unique properties that allow for the building of truly ecological structures, with large savings in electricity expenses associated with seasonal heating and cooling. The block allows for faster, cheaper, more precise, and stronger building than is available through traditional building methods.

Bricks are designed to be easily joined together, with open internal spaces for insulation and infrastructure elements to be run through the bricks and allow for easy access to these elements.

Floors, walls, and ceilings are all constructed by appropriate bricks to allow for facile, solid construction with little mess and significantly reduced construction costs.

Moving would require lots of large Tupperware .

YESSS, my entire childhood has been spent preparing for this moment.

Everything is cool when you're part of a team!"

[georgehumph]

they have obviously invented a weather-proof non-toxic adhesive; and a new energy-cheap plastic to produce these bricks. Oh, and of course the big autonomous arm is powered by the tears of sane people.

How about an actual construction site, you know, showing an actual building being constructed with these Lego blocks. The Jetsons cartoon from years ago had some very futuristic buildings, even as a child one new they were not reality.

[kenthecoder]

"New". I played with Legos over 20 years ago.

[theroadtoenlightenment]

Yeah! I used to play that toy when I was a kid, can even build a rocketship with those stuffs.. Hahaha...

[Reso]

I love these so called "architects"....they always present an ideal situation in their designs and videos, perfect weather (no rain or wind), perfect FLAT ground
In reality de foundation is "wavy", the weather is to hot, raining to much wind and dust etc etc 

[johnwow]

Can I see a real construction site instead of this lego commercial?

[OzModIaZ]

So, after 150 years, the big innovation is LEGO?

[ChrisPirillo]

So, this will be the next house I live in. 

[epicdeuce]

There's a reason this is a computer demonstration and not a real life one....

[nickilovesdogs]

That is amazing. Real life Lego bricks. Makes sense and this is so exciting for the future to build also with translucent cement and extra sturdy cement. And to build storm proof buildings.

[SatishGandhi]

Is this four-story construction is possible without a solid foundation? I understand the hollow bricks don't weight similar to normal bricks but are the construction is built on load bearing technology?

[shandor]

I'm all for character in housing, and know that it doesn't have to come from wood. In Mexico City houses are mainly masonry and spare plenty cozy! I totally love this robot, which is very doable, but as mentioned by Peter, many of us physics-minded folks need to see evidence of roof strength, 'cos concrete is a compressively strong material with negligible tensile strength. In other words, without an arch or some type of I beams your ceilings and floors will collapse. Thanks!

[ChristopherBudesheim]

I love this idea! I blog about LEGO but know there are way more applications for this type of construction than people think about or give credit to the LEGO style idea! Thanks for sharing this video! (and idea) :-)

[MessiahMews]

Like life-sized Legos. My daughter would just LOVE this! She's grown now, but still a big time lego fan.

[MountainNZ]

You can't build beams and suspended floors out of lego bricks, I notice they skipped the bit in the video where they detailed how exactly that was going to happen. I'd like to know what the bricks are made out of that they can support a floor in tension.

[maestrohun]

I am asking the uploader. Why do you think, it is green? What kind of material made of? Why do you use mortar? That also green material? Can you recycle? Did you use static counting or make a model? The small cubes on top of the brick look like too small and weak.

[alsdikbenatia]

What is the building brick material? And about hot, cold, sound, and force or weak.. looking for info fir real deal
