Interlocking Folding Concrete Blocks by Dror

by pleatfarmer on February 23, 2011

Designed by Dror Benshetrit, QuaDror is an ingenious system yet structurally and aesthetically stunning as a simple building block or multiple modules. Constructed of four identical L-shaped parts, the form folds flat and opens up as each piece rests around the corner hinges. Its applications vary in scale ranging from room dividers to acoustic buffering for highways. The system’s potential also extend to trestle design for bridges and prefab elements for disaster relief housing. Expect to hear more of QuaDror in the upcoming months as it’s currently competing at the Buckminster Fuller Challenge.
