Go BackLocus Manifesto-exposition: CES presented the innovation on the use of cost-effective techniques for the production of earth-cement interlocking blocks, as applied in the low cost houses for the Mexicali project
30/05/2014Two boards included in Science Cabinet #1 of the exhibit, with images illustrating the concept of “Builders’ Yard”, as implemented in the Mexicali project. The project focused on a cost-effective process of construction by using, large scale production of building material on site, using local builders and family participation. The first board includes two photographs from the production of concrete blocks, and the second one shows the plan of the builders’ yard.
