Briscoe proposes interlocking blocks for low cost homes
Pharmacologist and University of Arizona graduate student James R. Briscoe has patented two interlocking building block types. He argues the system lets a weekend mason build walls with minimal mortar and can cut a normal $12,000 three bedroom home to about half price. Briscoe seeks HUD support and a Tucson model program to replace ghettos with affordable housing.
