ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, hollow building block is disclosed. The building block preferably has a rectangular base and an open pentagonal top. Two adjacent sides of the block form right angles with the base and the top. The three remaining adjacent sides are inclined outwardly from the base at an angle which permits the blocks to be stacked one inside another. When four such blocks are arranged in a double-wide and double-long pattern, they form a rectangular, vertical sided building unit. A building is constructed from the blocks by laying a course at the time and preferably filling the open, upturned blocks in each course with some locally available filler material to lend weight and stability to the structure.
