Engineers conceive of chocolaty construction project. (mnn.com)
A 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.

Sounds like it will be made out of chocolate clay! Chocolate clay is an awesome medium for cake artists , and yummy too!
 
Hey Nestle look at this! And they didn't even ask for water rights!
