DAC-ART, Ted Dial & History

  DAC-ART is rooted in history. While it is a revolutionary, new way to build, it incorporates large "stones" maintaining the shapes, placement, and final appearance of the great historic buildings throughout the world.  More recently in the history of architecture, an architectural artist named Ted C. Dial, Jr. designed and produced a large variety architectural details which were separate and installed onto many buildings.  At first, the buildings were historic houses and central city buildings in Mobile, Alabama, and in New Orleans.  Later, Ted designed all new houses, highly customized, on which to practice the art of architectural details.    Ted decided that the separation of structure and finish is too much  trouble and too expensive. Then in early 1998, he  invented DAC-ART to provide both the structure, the shapes, and the finishes while making the work a lot easier.  No more dualism.

   The DAC-ART Building System utilizes  patented technology: U.S. Patent No. 6,032,424, issued 7 March 2000 with national patent phases complete in major foreign markets, the continuing patent allowed and to be issued in December 2000,  with third  U.S. patent at preliminary phase.    DAC-ART has moved from the small size of previous block ideas to large components too heavy to be set by hand.  Mortar is no longer applicable.  Wet pre-cast concrete has taken a new direction as decorative forms left in place.  Molds are made by DAC-ART to make custom blocks as well as standard shapes.   DAC-ART achieves the immense variety found in historic, traditional architecture and in all architectural shapes required.   The door is open for ultra modern forms as well as the desire certain architects and designers have expressed to blend the old with new.
