Could real-life Legos be used to create buildings? (with video)

Kite Bricks is developing a revolutionary product that will change the way houses, buildings, bridges, and sidewalks are built. Structures built with Smart Brick will be highly insulated, much stronger, and a lot less expensive. The brick can be used to build houses, buildings, bridges, and more. The block is constructed of high-strength concrete with unique properties that allow for the building of truly ecological structures, with large savings in electricity expenses associated with seasonal heating and cooling. The block allows for faster, less expensive, more precise, and stronger building than is available through traditional building methods.

Bricks are designed to be easily joined together, with open internal spaces for insulation and infrastructure elements to be run through the bricks and allow for easy access to these elements. Floors, walls, and ceilings are all constructed by appropriate bricks to allow for facile, solid construction with little mess and significantly reduced construction costs.

Estimates show that using the revolutionary brick system can lead to savings of 50% of the total expenses associated with building an eight story building. The brick’s thermal properties can lead to huge savings in heating and cooling costs. The block’s design also allows for greater thermal energy control and thus significant savings for owners as well as a smaller energy footprint for all of us.

The bricks are made to order, including shapes, sizes and finishes, both inside and out. In a Smart Bricks building project, the required bricks are delivered to a building site, where, in combination with traditional doors, windows, etc., the desired structure is quickly and quietly completed with minimum labor and time.

Smart Brick construction significantly reduces the requirements for natural materials such as sand, iron, and water. The block and its associated structures are made for extreme strength, including during earthquakes and weather-related stresses.

The Smart Brick offers high thermal control, full passage of pipes, wires, cables and the like, finishes for both indoors and outdoors, extraordinary tensile strength, ease of construction, safety of materials, and total application throughout a structure—floors, ceilings, and walls. The Smart Brick is the solution for building from Africa to Manhattan.
