Participants in the city's Brick by Brick Program produce compressed earth blocks, which are adobe-like bricks, for use in Scottsdale capital projects and other areas throughout the community.

More than 25 architecture students from Arizona State University and the University of Washington recently volunteered with the program to press block for use in building a design studio this spring, which gave them a hand- on look at the possibilities bricks of this type can have in their future projects.

This program combines volunteerism, community development, economic vitality and environmental initiatives to develop awareness around the use of sustainable materials to build quality, energy-efficient structures.
