The X House is also a constructive exploration -
a technique regularly used in infrastructure construction such as bridges and tunnels is here developed to meet the architectural scale, aiming to incorporate efficiency and reduce construction costs. The use of a mixed technique based on the application of high-density concrete allows the material to be projected using high pressure to a single-sided formwork,
and to acquire substantial structural resistance in extremely short periods of time. Thus,
it is possible to project continuous 6m high walls without the need to use a two-sided formwork (which would be the regular construction procedure).
The house is therefore a living expression of a specific technique,
and contains in its skin the diverse and continuous knowledge acquired within the process of construction.
