Martinez Tile Glazing Workshop: The first experimental all-gunite concrete building – construction of columns and beams
1979Walls, columns, vaults, beams, ceilings, all made by gunite shot on a light weight and low cost guidework of lightweight wooden frame. Gunite is a high-strength concrete made of sharp sand and concrete, carried in air under high pressure, shot dry from a hose, with water added through fine holes at he last minute before the material leaves the hose. Gunite does not require formwork, as poured concrete; instead it is shot against a guide-work, made easily and cheaply.
