© MARK FOSTER GAGE In this example, for a retaining wall system, each Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) is designed to precisely interlock with its neighbor, allowing for a wall that curves in both plan and section, and therefore allows for a more precise distribution of weight and force both laterally and vertically.
© MARK FOSTER GAGE The primary intended uses for this particular system are as retaining walls for soil as well as strategic break-walls for tides and coastal wave surges.

© MARK FOSTER GAGE The parametric wall system generates CMU geometry, subtracts material overlaps, and organizes stacking of individually customized bricks to offset horizontal loading pattern.
© MARK FOSTER GAGE Parawall requires less vertical load than typical retaining wall systems, and produces a more strategically calculated "lean" efficient, which better offsets soil pressure on retention side.
