abstract: The term Topological Interlocking Assembly (TIA), proposed by A.V. Dyskin et al., refers
to an assembly system whose internal elements are both translationally and rotationally
locked. Such systems allow masonry construction to form stable assemblies more
sustainably, relying not on mortar or special connectors but by the geometric
arrangement of bespoke blocks. Prior studies in TIA focused mainly on platonic
geometries, and a few have considered curved structures, derived primarily from regular
2D tessellations. In contrast to existing methods, this paper explored nonplatonic
mortarless vaults with TIA generated from aperiodic Penrose tiling for both structural
function and aperiodic aesthetic in architecture. The patterns formed by Penrose tiles,
invented by Sir Roger Penrose in the 1970s, are aperiodic, i.e. they do not repeat
regularly. This research used Rhino Grasshopper to enable real-time control and
visualization of design parameters and variations in 2D tiles and 3D aggregation
methods. Using geometric software as an interface enables architectural form-finding
through material behavior and structural principles. The TIA approach considered is
shown to offer ample design space for nonplatonic geometries and breaks masonry
architecture’s dependence on conventional construction methods. This computer-aided
design outcome allows us to formulate new understandings of materiality and structures.
