How this node works
The blocks are laid in mortar with spacers that keep the joints regular; in the joints run steel rods — horizontal and, on taller walls, vertical — that stiffen the panel and control its cracking. It is this hidden grid of mortar and steel that turns a stack of brittle blocks into a stable wall.
