| summary |
The material qualities of ceramic roof tiles have provided new formal interpretations that induced a new functional use—a wall. By disassembling ceramic roof tiles from roofs and assembling them into walls, its circularity potential was enlarged. This paper explores the potential use of ceramic roof tiles, as a single element type, in the definition of wall design systems and patterns of composition that comply with design for manufacture, assembly and disassembly (DfMA-D) requirements, through the development of a shape grammar and implementation through parametric models. The new shape grammar extends the compositional patterns already produced and the redefinition of the connection systems by incorporating DfMA-D requirements into the shape grammar rules sets new combinatorial patterns aligned with European Union goals for building circularity. The parametric models automate the generation of design solutions and extend the design process to the assembly and disassembly stages using robotic fabrication techniques. |
