Abstract

A building which has as a wall of its envelope, a wall of a size of at least 2.4 m high, and at least 4 m wide; wherein the wall has a frame or a substructure having studs at least some of which are spaced by a modular distance, battens supported from and fixed to said frame or substructure, such battens fixed both on and between studs, a first mesh (“inner mesh”) attached to such battens, a second (“outer”) mesh supported at least in part by a plaster matrix, and the plaster matrix applied as more than one layer, the plaster matrix penetrating the first mesh, interposing both meshes, attaching to the second mesh and covering the second mesh; wherein the wall has at least one opening selected from a group consisting of door and window openings; and wherein at least part of the periphery of each opening, within the matrix, has been further reinforced by one or more of (a) one or more of at least one mesh and/or lattice-work at each corner, (b) one or more of at least one mesh and/or lattice-work at each vertical side, and/or one or more mesh between adjacent openings.
