ᐅ Used building blocks!

If you build using oil as an insulating material, you probably need an installation cavity or service zone, right? Otherwise, everything would leak out if I want to install a pipe or even just drive a nail into the wall to hang a picture.

To address this rather straightforward problem, a conference will soon take place on Mallorca (June 16, 2016): "With Oil to the Palm – What Building in the Future Looks Like."

The first proposed solutions for the issue you described assume delivering the blocks with pre-installed nails, so that no drilling or hammering is required later (--> Top-A-Convinice-Living). Hanging pictures becomes an easy task this way.

Pipes and similar installations are generally overrated—they cost energy and money. The advantage here lies in leaving them out.

😀 🙄

Good idea; you should consider patenting it 😉

On April 1, 2016, we reinvented building.

It’s not entirely new.
According to a confidential document from the European Construction Ministry from 2014, there has been a collaboration since 2010 with Lego developers, which found that, at current Lego prices, the best price-to-insulation ratio is achieved with seven Lego bricks placed in a row as hollow chamber profiles. With insulated Lego bricks, only five bricks in a row are needed. This allows for very thin walls to be built, which provides more design flexibility considering the rising land prices in Germany.

The problem is the production expansion at Lego.
If this confidential document were to become public, the Danish mainland would be too small for the necessary production expansion at Lego. Therefore, plans include expanding Denmark by land reclamation in the Baltic Sea or relocating Lego’s production to Greenland, which belongs to Denmark. However, the ice sheet currently covering Greenland would first need to be melted. Reports on polar ice melting are publicly available from Greenpeace. The decision to move production to Greenland appears to be finalized.

If this confidential document were to appear in the mainstream media, mainland Denmark would be too small for the necessary production increase at Lego. There are therefore considerations ranging from expanding Denmark by land reclamation in the Baltic Sea to relocating Lego’s production to Greenland, which belongs to Denmark.

Simply awesome. TOP. I’m literally laughing my head off right now.

I tend to prefer a Lego stud frame filled with studded bubble wrap. However, I’ve heard that installing the bubble wrap leads to an unusually high rate of damage. No idea what the builders are doing with it.
