researchers at ETH Zurich have let an autonomous excavator loose on a big pile of boulders and reclaimed concrete. The goal? To build a 20 foot (6 meter) and 213 ft (65 m) long dry-stone wall as ...

A robotic excavator could build a dry stone wall to act as a blast shield around a launch pad on the moon, a new study suggests.

Native sandstone walls, clay barrel tile roofs, limestone trim, and black wrought iron accents make up the principal elements of this palette. Sandstone for campus use is obtained from a number of ...

For the final project, students developed their own version of a “living building” through the program of an interpretive nature center near Wonderland Lake in Boulder, CO. Students collaborated in ...

A dry stone wall constructed using irregular, unprocessed boulders will contain small gaps. It needs to be examined, whether those gaps are an issue when the wall is used as a blast shield.
