Study Snapshot
Key takeawayThin cladding in facades is not necessarily the most sustainable solution, and the type of stone product used in a structure depends on local availability.
PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)
Sample size24
MethodsObservational
OutcomesBody Mass Index projections
ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.
A framework for robotic excavation and dry stone construction using on-site materials
This research presents a robotic construction pipeline that enables efficient, carbon-reducing construction of freeform stone walls and landscapes using local materials, enabling remote locations and sustainable building practices.
