At this point it is important to note that the temporality of the structures is subject to the used type of binder and can therefore be adjusted to the needs of each situation. Lab testing has shown that the structures would become more robust when different kinds of binders were applied. Regarding, the scalability of the structures three hypothetical case studies will be outlined for an existing area: facade panelling, shelters for emergency situations and structures for special events. It is important to point out that all the above case studies represent applications with a short lifespan.

Case Study 1 Location: undefined Type of building: prefabricated Purpose: faรงade paneling Case Study 2 Location: Erfoud, Morocco Type of building: Multipurpose space Purpose: Structures on locations without infrastructure Case Study 3 Location: Touristic beach Type of building: leisure space Purpose: leisure, events

In more detail, the three case studies are transportable panel system based in parts that is produced in laboratory, accessible places where any kind of scale of intervention can be profitable, and non accessible places where only a large scale intervention can support the transportation of the machine.
