The paper concerns the theme of topological interlocking blocks for architecture and the relationship between flat stereotomic assemblies and curved morphologies. After a brief history of the subject, theoretical foundations and speculative research are presented. The research includes several built full-scale prototypes and architectural elements. The last part of the chapter describes the didactic experiences concerning the theme, during the third year Architectural Design Studio held by the authors, at Politecnico di Bari, Italy.

Abstract
The paper concerns the theme of topological interlocking blocks for architecture and the relationship between flat stereotomic assemblies and curved morphologies. After a brief history of the subject, theoretical foundations and speculative research are presented. The research includes several built full-scale prototypes and architectural elements. The last part of the chapter describes the didactic experiences concerning the theme, during the third year Architectural Design Studio held by the authors, at Politecnico di Bari, Italy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
