Im Rahmen eines internationalen Workshops ist Ende Februar 2020 ein kleines Wirtschaftsgebäude aus Laterit-Lehmsteinen auf dem Gelände der Agege-Farm gebaut worden. Die ungebrannten, gepressten INTERLOCKING bricks des ghanaischen startups MAGGLO lassen sich mörtellos stapeln und innerhalb weniger Tage konnten wir (Laien und Fachleute) ein kleines Gebäude daraus errichten.
first day measurements
using German black film against rising damp
at some places we had to use some sand inbetween the courses to level the layers
more and specialised bricks for the ledges of the building
its very important to check the level at openings after every layer and to adjust the layers with sand - if necessary
the building is growing, hour by hour
filling the holes with liquid laterite and sand
closing of some too big joints with laterite before filling the holes
checking if the liquid laterite mix penetrated deep enough
the walls can be simply adjusted with a rubber hammer
