Mark Taylor flew to Pignon to deliver a concrete blocks mold created by Illinois Institute of Technology students. It will be used in the construction of the building. He also worked with the local contractors to find ways to improve the strength of the locally-produced concrete.

  • There is a process that adds foam to concrete: "foamed concrete" (see YouTube). This can be formed into structural blocks and slabs.

    If foamed concrete slabs can be created

    (from pulverized rubbel?), they can be more easily transported and used first as

    flooring under tents/shelters and then as modular building materials.

  • Hi... thanks for the nice video of the concrete mold. Was wondering if you could post a closer photo of it and all it's parts..
