Process-driven material

At TAL-L, we endeavor to push the boundaries of our locally sourced materials. Our goal is to establish on-site fabrication standards for uniquely shaped compressed earth blocks. In doing so, we combine the eco-friendly benefits of CEBs with the adaptability and versatility of custom design approaches.

This brick was manufactured using a custom-designed 3D-printed mold, which is able to withstand the production process. Currently the brick is undergoing a series of compressive strength tests to evaluate its suitability for various applications.
