Mortar
Mortar is a paste which may be used to bind construction blocks together or fill and seal the irregular gaps between them. Mortar is easily associated with construction methods that do not depend on geometric accuracy of the building blocks, as it is very efficient in guiding uncontrolled directions and metrics. On the other hand, in stereotomic construction the direction of voussoirs should ideally depend on their own geometry and not in auxiliary means such as mortar. Notwithstanding, mortar can be a valuable asset in a stereotomic construction without compromising its geometrically defined and compressive nature.
