Abstract

The non-tectonic systems actually organize the industrialization of building on a new basis, that is on a new model of building, on the basis of the well-known Gutenberg-principle. Similarly to the letters of the phonetic alphabet, or more accurately: similarly to the types of the printed alphabet, which in themselves have no meaning, yet they allow any kind of texts to be printed; the surface elements of the non-tectonic system - the so-called "non-tectonic bricks" - are not structures themselves, yet they permit to assemble any kind of building. The non-tectonic bricks are actually nothing else but letters of a structural system. Our study gives a detailed elaboration of the theory behind the adaptation of the non-tectonic systems.
