About

Dion Moult is a researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, computational design, and architectural geometry, with a particular focus on stereotomy—the ancient art of cutting solid materials like stone into precise, interlocking forms. His most-cited work, "Stereotomy of Wave Jointed Blocks" (2016, 12 citations), introduces a novel method for designing and fabricating stone blocks with wave-like joints that interlock without mortar, drawing on historical techniques while leveraging modern parametric modeling and robotic fabrication. This contribution advances the field of structural stone construction, offering a sustainable, low-waste alternative to conventional building methods. Moult’s research demonstrates how computational tools can revive traditional craftsmanship, enabling complex, self-supporting masonry structures that are both aesthetically striking and structurally efficient. His work has been recognized for bridging heritage and innovation, inspiring architects and engineers to reconsider stone as a viable, high-performance material in contemporary architecture. With a growing impact in digital fabrication communities, Moult continues to explore how algorithmic design can unlock new possibilities for sustainable, resilient built environments.
