structure. the blocks are designed to stack on top of one another. they provide shade, while leaving room for
ventilation. they are very appropriate for the hot ecuadorian climate.

provide space to insert other pieces like stair treads or a table on the interior, or to provide room for plants on the
exterior. they can be combined in a number of ways to serve multiple functions depending on the walls context.
