Blob Wall by Greg Lynn (2005—2009) “BLOB WALL© is a collaboration between Greg Lynn and PANELITE. It is an innovative redefinition of architecture’s most basic building unit, the brick; in lightweight, plastic, colorful, modular elements custom shaped using the latest CNC technology. BLOB WALL© is a free-standing, indoor/outdoor wall system built of a low-density, recyclable, impact-resistant polymer.  The blob unit, or “brick,” is a tri-lobed hollow shape that is mass produced through rotational molding.  Each wall is assembled from individually robotically cut hollow bricks that interlock with exacting precision.  In addition to stock designs, custom configurations are available for specific shapes, sizes, room configurations, partitions and color schemes.  The Blob Wall © is a contemporary wall system that recovers the voluptuous shapes, chiaroscuro and grotto like textures of baroque and renaissance architecture in pixilated gradients of vivid color.   The stock designs are: “S”, “L”, “I” and “U” shaped walls as well as a Dome and Tree House.  There are six stock color schemes each made up of a gradient of 7 different brick colors.  In addition to any one of the six standard designs and six color schemes, custom wall configurations and color combinations are available for a variety of residential and commercial applications.“
