Roadmap to Success: 

SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE SECTION FOR CLEARLY ANSWERING FIVE PROJECT QUESTIONS

What is your innovation? 
Taking into account the above considerations, our main goal is that "The Assemblable Brick" allows us to have a new vision of how to build, that is innovative, functional, thermal, with a unique design, easy of use and contribution to the protection the environment, to provide a significant number of people the chance to reach the goal of having a home, while many benefits, from how to build, the comfort of living in a home with a comfortable temperature, reduction of the time construction.
Who gains the most? 
We have seen in recent decades that the rising costs of living, constantly accelerating and seems to have no end. The global economy hits everyone equally, no matter where you live and all without exception live the consequences of the crisis local, national or international real limiting our ability to meet some of our needs as it is to have a home own, decent, comfortable and consistent with the environment. Having a home, represents not only the possibility of having a heritage.
Who pays? 
This project was created for the needs that we see every day that are increasing in terms of excess demand to have their own home and a family heritage. Simultaneously daily pollution occurs in cities, is killing our planet and that there is no culture of recycling and preserving the same, so we solve these two needs with the development of "Assemblable brick" and we use recycled PET. The people that wants to construct their own house they can do it with their hands, autoconstruction.
What is your success? 
"The Assemblable Brick" features an innovative design that allows parts to be assembled without using any glue as cement, being intertwined with one another. Bricks or blocks are made of same material as the conventional adding an extra component that is the dust of PET (plastic bottles or containers of powdered) to increase their degree heat, recycle plastic and lighten the block in such proportion that does not alter its resistance.
