A structural assembly has a first set of first elongate structural members alternately spaced apart from a second set of second elongate structural members by locking blocks, the first set defining a first plane and the second set defining a second plane forming an intersection at an angle with the first plane, the structural members and locking blocks defining an assembly of adjoined blocks and structural members at the intersection, and a compressive mechanism spanning the assembly of adjoined blocks and structural members at the intersection. Compressing the adjoined blocks and structural members by the spanning compression mechanism locks the blocks and structural members together in a manner to resist applied forces.

13 A four-sided reinforced static box frame as a basis for a building, comprising:
The box frame of claim 13 wherein the torsion locking blocks and the joists have complementary extensions and grooves to engage adjacent joists at a right angle, with the extensions and grooves engaged to resist rotation between the adjacent joists of joined portions.
The box frame of claim 13 further comprising sheet paneling covering some or all of external surfaces of the box frame.
The box frame of claim 13 comprising one or both of framed doors or windows in one or both of the first or second wall portions.
The box frame of claim 13 further comprising one or more internal wall structures added to the box frame.
