ABSTRACT
In architecture, the morphology of masonry structures is shaped by the ability to absorb tensile stresses. Tensile forces can only be absorbed to a small extent therefore bricks and mortar are generally used as upright positioned building components. The aim of the research is the development of a method to create a limited amount of planar components – in order to implement double curved forms. The involved production process will be clearly made simple through the breaking up of curved surfaces into planar components since individual parts can now be conventionally produced. Additionally, a mechanism has to be developed to join individual parts which can absorb occurring tensile forces in connecting points of individual precast elements and moreover be easy to execute at the construction site.
