This seems like the act of desperation. ...
we-got-to-put-this-stuff-somewhere mentality...a houses-as-landfill
concept. Surley there is a higher-and-better use than this volume-intensive
method of aggregating crap into building elements. To my mind it lacks
elegance, and, in an urban environment where space is at a premium ( or
should be) the idea of 18" thick walls everywhere seems bizzare. What would
Bucky Fuller have said about this one? Talk about doing-less-with-more.
