In the research field of circular building design, design concepts for sustainable masonry are developed using both renewable materials and reusable bricks. In constructing a masonry wall, the majority of the effort and cost are associated with the laying of the bricks, particularly in the mortaring process. Upon deconstruction, the materials used are generally only reusable in exceptional cases. Dry-Stacked Masonry (DSM) offers an alternative that facilitates reuse: bricks are simply stacked with interlocking configurations, eliminating the need for mortar in the bed joints. This method significantly reduces the cost and workload required for wall assembly. However, the main advantage becomes evident during the dismantling process: the walls can be demounted by simply disassembling the individual bricks. In the case of a suitable or removable plaster layer, undamaged bricks can be reused in new constructions.
