Full Article:

This study presents a novel, sustainable method for producing diverse concrete tiles with a reusable mould, addressing the waste issue associated with traditional tile moulds. Our digital manufacturing system, composed of a Rhino Grasshopper-based design system and an electric actuator-based kinetic mechanism, simplifies the construction process and lowers costs. The effectiveness of this method is showcased through six case studies, demonstrating its adaptability in diverse morphing tile designs, including the reinterpretation of traditional Islamic pattern. This approach opens new possibilities for the cost-effective, sustainable, and versatile use of concrete tiles in architecture.
