I’m working on a way to design free standing domes using mortar-less bricks. The idea is to build a cut-list for each brick, such that when stacked, there are no gaps, and the entire thing is held in place with just gravity (maybe the first layer is permanently attached to the ground)
I’m looking for a good framework to simulate the physics and visualizations.
My father-in-law lived in Mexico and had his home custom-built. He was fond of brick domes (with mortar). I can remember being in my wife's room with her staring at the ceiling when we went to bed wondering how the hell they managed to make that roof without the whole thing collapsing.
