Bricks that resemble the smaller interlocking plastic building blocks used in Lego toy sets are being produced by a German company in hopes of revolutionising the construction industry. The start-up Polycare in the eastern town of Suhl says its reusable building blocks provide a faster alternative to traditional building methods.

When your house is made of Lego but the food are inedible.
Giant croissants, giant sausages, cookies, whole chickens you can remove only the drumsticks from.
All made of plastic.
@@greatwavefan397 barbie lied to us 😔 she said life in plastic is fantastic but no anyway wonder how barbie would survive in life in plastic

plastic legos food life sized will fix the problem
@@greatwavefan397 lol
That feeling when you found out your house disappeared overnight
Hahahaha
No I mean It would be interlocked and they would cut the extra bricks, they are just lego bricks with more grasp and friction
Global warming is too true
@L T same thought..this would be great if use in earthquake prone countries such as Indonesia or Japan..
Or got turned into a huge car with square wheels 🤔😳
now we just need a Master Builder and EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
Is that a The Lego Movie reference?
@@MadaraSama69 Why, of course.

The bricks were initially called interlocking bricks, used to build free housing in south Africa. They were created buy the building and construction department of a university in Cape town
Am curious as to who owns the patent ...these 'eco' bricks are not that new in Africa.
Nice mexico had some too. They did this a few yrs ago. Tested colored to spec as well. Garbage now has some appeal...
Nah they not from Africa, they couldn’t have made them there. I assure you they were made in Germany
@@emmbaya1595 bro you really trying to pull the race card well you failed because no one doubts Germans making this since Germans have always been very smart .
still there is more money put in building extra football stadions, just bcuz people cant accept what they have
This needs to make its way to America. We need affordable housing
The market in the US is artificially inflated. Building new homes won't change anything, besides most houses in the US are not only already extremely cheap to build, they are to super quick to put up.
@@uioplkhj IT is better than all the wood they use
You should see the prices here in Uk..
Hoping the Polycare Lego Style Construction Make its Way to the Philippines so that All Squatter Areas Especially in Tondo, Where Squatter Area Here is Large, It May Be Used to Build House and Lot and Condos with Public Housing from Government with Quality at Singapore and Japan Level.
@@uioplkhj If houses were cheap, why are so many homeless? Plus every time there's a tornado or hurricane plenty of houses are destroyed.
This could help in refugees camp and other medical camp in rural areas
exactly what im thinking about
Who's gonna be forking $37000 for each houses in these camps?
@@jasonchan5504 There's gonna obviously be charities for rural areas like Africa, while the medical camps would also be supported by something like a health organization
lol nope
If the brick re useable, can use for temporary hospital, quarantine center or vaccine center.....
Dad : Son! You are no longer a kid anymore! Stop playing Lego and you need to grow up like a real architect! 😡
Son : *say no more* 😏
My brother, a mechanic, once observed a LEGO Technic car I had finished building; he commented that working with life-sized LEGO cars would be so much easier.

Imagine going on a vacation and when you come back someone has dismantled your house.
Not possible. You can say this about any building. "What of you come back and your telephone polls are dismantled"
@@insectbite1714 was more meant to be a joke :)
And you noticed your neighbour's kitchen suddenly twice the size :D
I don't think those people can afford going on vacations.
dont worry just brought the whole house with you

These houses are stronger than most houses
Hello there
Not really
Than most amercian cardboard houses. In Europe most houses are massive.
Probably not. But there is few information. What is used besides sand, recycled plastic ? What about insulation. How do the stones keep huminity and heat (cold). There is more to a building than just lego. And obviously they plastered the house and the bricks only build the shell. That doesn't cost less than brickwork or cardboard and much more than straw and clay.
oh hey I wonder how my times you commented
I feel sorry for giants stepping on one of these buildings.

Next : "house built with roblox brick studs"
Imagine a massive 1x1 brick to build a house. That is very thick wall
Finally a house that will destroy Godzilla's feet
Nice name. It's wiener
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyone who has stepped on one of these miniature beasts knows these houses will stand just fine

@@melodysongs1971 ufff
wonder how this house would handle a small earthquake, heck i can imagine some of the sides to get deformed and out of position after a small shake.
We dont have these kind of things in Germany so it's not really a bad idea but theory and practice are 2 different worlds
We can just rebuild it lol ( joke)
all you would need to do is get a slegehammer and slap the walls then make sure to jump on the roof in order to make sure the pieces are jammed tight
It would be better to apply a mesh and fiberglass coating on the walls to give It a solid finishing
This is the only lego that can be played by people above 100 or below

Son: Dad legos aren’t for adults they are for kids.
Father: Places Lego brick on the table.
Imagine living in this and your neighbours just casually start dismantling your house while you are sleeping
Imagine when you don't get all the blocks in the box and you have to go without a forth wall for your garage.
Imagine how much it hurts to step on one of THOSE bricks.
probobly wont hurt
RIP elephant...
RIP
I want to see how it stands up to adverse weather and other natural disasters.
It might be better than most American homes.. they have higher standards in Germany for houses, in terms of how long it should stand as structurally sound building, on average of course.
@@JayBe443 This makes me question the Japanese approach to practical architecture.
I have no doubt about german quality, their standards are very high.
@@JayBe443 yeah germany has like better engineering skills tbh especially when it comes to building houses
@@greatwavefan397 how so? i think they led the innovations for buildings in earthquake/tsunami zones
This is perfect, but the question is...
Can it withstand earthquakes and extreme weather?
No, but it can withstand being stepped on by a barefoot giant.
@@greatwavefan397 Lol. I got that joke. Inside joke only a lego owner can relate to.
Just rebuild it if it does break
@Stop Motion Noreo what about protectiion from a hammer strike ??
How strong is that can you dropkick and break it or shake it up ?
@@parthapratimghose173 you're also putting plaster on it, so it would be pretty durable.
*EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!*
I used to think about that kind of house. Now it really exists. Great idea 👍
these are a kind of blocks where we invest our money with no worries
ua-cam.com/video/I6sS79vK4-8/v-deo.html
It looks like it's susceptible to water leaks
@@Centrioless it's unlikely since it's interlocked
@@Centrioless don't forget about high end wall paints if it does
And the price of employment where the workers have no jobs and can't afford the cost of actually buying the property or food, that makes complete sense doesn't it! This is completely retroactive in giving guaranteed employment cutting back on the number of positions ie: bricklayers, time to produce work for electricians to wire-up etc, consider the details abd maybe you'll understand the ling yerm effect!😡👎
modern ppl : "they don't use glue just held together with ring anchor"
egypt, sumer & borobudur builder : so finally they understand it
I’m sure he meant the bricks were 5 times stronger than concrete in tension. Concretes compression strength is amazing. So I kinda doubt these 20-30 pound bricks would be stronger. The envelope of the structure worries me too. I didn’t really see how insulation was provided. So unless you live somewhere that’s 75 all the time, you’re gonna have a crazy inefficient hvac system. So great idea for less developed countries, but unless this idea kinda blends with modern day design. I think they’d have a more successful project
Our less developed countries don't want it. Why do they have to send their experiments to us. This is not structurally sound for most developing countries. We have earthquakes, flash floods, volcanic eruptions. These wouldn't last one monsoon season.
"More than 80% of the block volume consists of insulation. The insulation core provides protection against coldness and heating. The shell of the block accounts for 20% (by volume) and is made of polymer concrete, which takes over the statics. With 1m³ polymer concrete 20m² of wall surface can be build." according to polycare's website
It's a great way of stabilization

Little me thought 2021 is gonna be the year we get flying cars, but instead we get a giant Lego house for the non-existent giant to step on and lose a leg

cheap houses with fast builds, now that's the future im lookin forward to
@@chinalover2798 bruh an annoying spammer.
Go on holiday and when you get home someone has stolen the living room and bath room
Ah yes if this came to America they would still charge up to 400k for a 50k max home
Not exactly cheap IMO. You can get simple small house below that price in developing countries, especially in rural area. But then this is a rather nice solution to quickly built houses for those needed without any requirement for specific skills.
Yep, great idea, just less employment less wages, less living cos they can't earn money to pay for FA!!!!😡👎
Well now construction workers doesn’t have any excuse to take 5 years to finish 1 small building
This is one of those ideas that everyone had have once, but only these dudes decided to make it happen
There's no market for this he's creating demand by making us watch this ad.
Looks wobbly , also the fact that they are light doesn't help it either , just how the sturdy will the walls be .
Wow, I just realized the Tabernacle of Moses was built like a German LEGO house.
ua-cam.com/video/I6sS79vK4-8/v-deo.html ...
This is innovative but I wonder why it didn't take us sooner to get here??
they shud make an app like lego builder so ppl can order their own build design
ua-cam.com/video/I6sS79vK4-8/v-deo.html ...
thats not an easy thing to do even with legos, architects are here for that
This kind of cement block should be popular
And in case of Earthquake, guess what happens?
The house can be easily fixed.
This is more like the old, children’s Baylor Building Set which used vertical rods and interlocking bricks etc.

Now every lego kid is an engineer..
I'll prefer engineering as a hobby, but not with LEGO as much as I used to.

This is the most satisfying construction method.
I notice they chose to build with them in a 3rd world country to avoid any of those pesky building codes, or inspectors to tell them how shabby those walls looked. 0:10
Yep, these are shelters. I think it's perfectly acceptable that they be used In that matter. You're not going to have plumbing or electrical unless you frame inside. But then it's no longer a 37k/1wk job. But as basic protection from the elements, I'm totally on board with this over nothing at all.
Don't think it's meant to be a replacement for regular houses. Just temporary shelters
You have to remember that building codes change depending on the type of building and they could very well possibly build this in germany because the walls as they say are just as sturdy. Electrical, plumbing, etc can be brought up to code just by modifying some of the designs to be perfectly acceptable by law. Dont insult innovation just because you arent creative enough to innovate. And plus they are doing a nice thing for nambia
DUDE THIS WILL HELP CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
Sua-cam.com/video/ohHXn1ph3Ak/v-deo.html
so basically this uses the centuries-old interlocking method that was used to build old temples
No, not really.
Be prepared to get sued by Legos lawyers.
They sued people for less.
da hast du recht!
what about durability? how strong it is compare to a usual wall?
As ua-cam.com/video/ohHXn1ph3Ak/v-deo.html
Didn't they say it's five times as strong as concrete.
I love seeing things like this in my day

Imagine someone breaking into your house by removing blocks of wall
ua-cam.com/video/I6sS79vK4-8/v-deo.html
It's not possible, because the bricks are locked. Well unless you smash them bricks, works the same as our modern concrete stuffs.
How does it stand up to high winds...what about plumbing, electrical and a/c ? what about impacts...you know, from folks falling off a ladder against a wall ? or a car driving into the building ? what about repairs, how is that accomplished ? and what is it it's fire rating ? What about the polymer used to build the sand blocks ?

Now becoming a bricklayer sounds a lot more fun
Germany: “i give you... instacamp!!”
The world: “😬”
Germany and "camps" should not be mentioned in a same sentence.
This is genius. You don't even need to add a layer on the wall just to make it sturdy because the gravity is enough to make it tight and stronger on each block.
There needs to be transparency in the content agents in the construction of these bricks as I have seen various vids on recycled materials, some of which re-use plastics some decades through dredging which contains toxics harmful through vaporaptic inhalation!
So what do these bricks contain as when you look-up online can contain harmful agents which purchasers are unaware of potentially dangerous. Too many of these 'entrepreneurs' are beginning businesses on the premise that we are somehow benefiting the environment when in fact not only are we risking health yet again, but also removing elements that bind this world. In thus example they're talking of local materials, what happens when we remove them and then move on to the next area.
We need better materials that we can safely re-use or fully sustainable types such as trees from which perhaps resins/fibres/bulk materials. Wood has been a long-term material supply until we discovered concretes/bricks etc and now it seems plastics yet we still risk life whether ourselves or the animal kingdom.
We need better innovation, ideas and a firm commitment to the balance of all we can create but not at the cost of failing in the long term, NOW!!!!🤔🤨😡
hey bud, took me a while to read that, but Humans evolved, ALSO radiation doesn't work that way
also pretty sure no one gonna use these transparency has nothing to effect anything at all, have you seen Bats live in dark caves? yes they are still alive
this man took some house instructions from a lego set and took it to the next level
i think if i sell all of my 10000 sets of legos, i'll be able to afford it

Brilliant. For those looking for cheaper housing
I wouldn't dare to sleep in a house built this way or the 3D printed one. Without reinforcement in the building blocks the structure can't handle unexpected forces from nature.
Is amazing that LEGO brought us together
"Mom, I'm moving out!"
"Ok, sweety! Remember to bring your room with you."
"I already moved the furniture."
"I meant the walls."
Woah lego with realistic graphics!!!
Now all they need is a giant kid, that will destroy it.
