Engineers conceive of chocolaty construction project. (mnn.com)
the rest, and a picture of the prototype, at link aboveA delectable design aimed at using innovative materials in architecture has led to what might be a cocoa lover's wildest dream: a pavilion made entirely out of chocolate.
Engineers at Princeton University have teamed up with the Belgian chocolate company Barry Callebaut the world's largest chocolate manufacturer to construct what would be the first functional structure made completely of chocolate.
The project stems from the engineers' research in form-finding architecture, which seeks to optimize structural durability using innovative shapes and materials.
