This proposal draws a parallel between the Dom-ino concept (Le Corbusier, 1914) which based on necessity redefined domestic architecture, simplifying mass production and the self-built housing typology in Mexico where the block of concrete has become an iconic element that has shaped the identity of the urban and rural façade.

A facade allows infinite aesthetic and appropriation possibilities; however, with such limited resources, the options are reduced to materials without identity. "Letrablock" once again multiplies these possibilities, transforming the block façade into an urban framework that reflects the aspirations of those who inhabit it.

The fusion between the generic architecture of self-construction and the use of Letrablock transcribes the "autonomous" visual messages of our built environment through the preservation of our traditions and the gratuitous reproduction of national folklore.

Presented at the collective exhibition "Nada Sobra" part of the Abierto Mexicano de Diseño.
