Not sure about this wall.
1. They are calling the blobs ‘bricks’, but from what I can tell each blob is custom carved using a 6 axis mill because they all intersect in the computer model. If they’re all different, are they still bricks? A smart blob-brick would be standardised and interlock, not intersect.
2. Judging by the posts sounds like Greg Lynn’s got students working through the night and building it for free.
3. It’s silly and pink.

Well that was all pretty mean. I DO like the fact that it has it’s own blog. Thanks Marcus.

I agree Rory, ‘bricks’ are modular by definition. Lego would not be much fun if you could only make one specific item with each set, and no more.
