Construction Materials TA

Investigations of various building techniques

Walls

Tire Walls

The original concept, but very labor intensive and it is hard to get tires

Compressed Earth Brick

Great material, but requires a press.

Compressed Earth Walls

Labor intensive and requires forms. Final product looks very cool though.

Clay Fired Brick

Very traditional, but not too hard to make.

I like the idea of a machine I can load up with clay and pedal and have it deposit bricks.
