The Adobe International Earth Press II generated 11 blocks per minute using local soils. |
 |
The operator monitors the machine's performance and verifies the quality of the blocks as they are ejected from the press. |
 |
A crew of 22 masons and laborers was required to stay ahead of block production. |
 |
In this instance, the block was dry laid, as the adhesive and cohesive qualities of the local clays was extremely high. |
 |
Blocks of varying sizes can be instandly produced to maintain staggered joints. |
 |
Part of the training involved the use of native soils for the interior and exterior plasters following the traditional methods of the area. |
 |
Several test patches were applied before the most durable mix was developed. |

Lintels are installed at the openings. |
