Open-source parametric brick wall “hacks the digital” in Iran - Archpaper.com
Open-source parametric brick wall “hacks the digital” in Iran - Archpaper.com
Archpaper:
Sstudiomm, an Iranian architecture office founded by Hossein Naghavi, has developed a digital brick laying technique and an open-source DIY kit for architects interested in the system. The project, titled Negative Precision, is the outcome of Naghavi’s independent research into parametrically derived brick laying techniques. Using Kohler and Gramazio’s 2006 robotically programmed wall as a departure point, sstudiomm sought out alternative methods to reproduce the same effect with a limited budget, “in order to make the luxurious reachable for a greater group.”

Notable Chinese Architect(ure)s
neri & hu design and research office, link: http://enthepractice.
(This one is excellent, both projects and website)
JIAKUN ARCHITECTS, link: http://www.jiakun-architects.
(This one has some interesting projects, recommend the first two)
AMETEUR ARCHITECT(WANG SHU), link: http://www.chinese-architects.
(This architect was awarded the Pritzker honor in 2012, however, I couldn’t find his website, maybe that’s why it’s called Ameteur Architect)
LIXIAODONG ATELIER, link: http://www.lixiaodong.net/en_
(This one also has some interesting projects, recommend the Yuhu Elementary School Expansion Project and the Bridge School project)
ATELIER FCJZ, link: http://www.fcjz.com/
(Its Partner used to be MIT Architecture Dean, has some very interesting projects, but website is awful, needs some time to explore the website)
ATELIER DESHAUS, link: http://www.deshaus.com/works.

Mass Wall / Masonry for Passive Solar Design
from http://passivesolar.sustainablesources.com
A website with resources for designing and specifying for passive solar projects.
Masonry Walls: Links and Tips for Thermal Performance
Why:
The Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State has 2 prescriptive paths for minimum thermal performance: R value (continuous) or U factor (entire assembly).
If using COMcheck, the presets assume relative low R-value for CMU cavity inserts and fairly heavy reinforcement. Select option for "other U factor" instead, and fill in the actual values.
ECCCNYS c.i. is defined in ASHRAE 90.1: insulation that is continuous across all structural members without thermal bridges other than fasteners and service openings. It is installed on the interior, exterior, or is integral to any opaque surface of the building.
A catalog of reference assemblies by thermal performance can be found here:
