While in the building process, I have experimented with glass bottle modules, using basic cutting technology and silicone adhesive. I noticed the difficulty of using whole bottles - if you lay them on their side with the mouth and base exposed, the mouth is open to receive water and other life forms, and bottles tend to be more wide than conventional bricks. In this project, I cut 2 bottles, so each base could be joined and form the width of the bricks we used, constructing our bathroom, which were made with formed and dried red-clay mud. Color mixing, by combining 2 bottles has been an exciting innovation in the process, and I look forward to setting up production of various functional and sculptural applications on the land.
