Rock Print was developed to investigate methods and techniques for design and robotic aggregation of low-grade building material into load-bearing architectural structures that are fully recyclable and re-configurable with high geometrical flexibility and minimal material waste. This is made possible through granular materials and the physical phenomenon of jamming. By decreasing the free volume per particle and thereby increasing the strain between the aggregates, they become more and more constrained until they jam and increasing the confinement volume again reverses the jammed structure.
