The invention discloses devices and methods for using building blocks for construction that does not require mortar, internal columns or additional internal or external finishing. A building block includes joining elements for attaching blocks from top to bottom as well as from side to side. Additionally, blocks have internal and external finishes that are complete. The block includes a removable face for allowing access to space for infrastructural elements like wires and pipes. Thus, after construction of a structure, there is no additional need to paint, hang wallpaper or otherwise treat the outer and inner walls of the final structure.

1. A substantially hollow block for use in building construction including floors, walls, and ceilings of said building, wherein said block has a top side that includes a first joining feature, a bottom side including a complementary second joining feature, a plurality of connectors and holes at the ends of said block, extending continuously through the length of said block, and an inner space closed by a removable face, said space adapted to accept infrastructure elements of at least one of electrical wiring, water pipes, steam pipes, Internet wires, phone wires, and cables, and said holes are adapted to allow facile passage of said infrastructure elements to adjacent blocks wherein said infrastructure elements may be inserted after completion of the building through said removable face. 2. The block according to claim 1, wherein said first joining feature is a plurality of joining features, and wherein said second joining feature is a plurality of joining features. 3. The block according to claim 2, wherein said joining features include at least one strip of two-side tape on a top side of said block. 4. The block according to claim 1, wherein said substantially hollow block includes a second removable face. 5. The block according to claim 1, wherein said building is a house, room, office, factory, school, hospital, public structure, sky scraper or private building or room. 6. The block according to claim 1, further including insulation and energy saving materials placed inside said space. 7. The block according to claim 1, wherein said removable face may be replaced with a different removable face in order to change an appearance of the floor, wall, or ceiling said block is contained within. 8. The block according to claim 1, wherein said first finish is weatherproofed and selected from paint, wood, brick, aluminum siding, stone, glass, composite materials, metal. 9. The block according to claim 1, wherein said second finish is adapted to be removed and is selected from paint, wallpaper, stone, wood, brick, aluminum, glass, metal, composite materials, or drywall. 10. The block according to claim 1, further including pins to aid in the alignment of a first substantially hollow block with a second substantially hollow block. 11. The block according to claim 1, wherein said face is transiently removed by the aid of a vacuum. 12. A building block for mortar-less and paint-less construction, wherein said block is made of a pre-painted polymeric material and includes a plurality of elements for self-joining with other such building blocks as well as at least one removable a face that can be removed for access to infrastructure elements of at least one of electrical wiring, water pipes, steam pipes, Internet wires, phone wires, and cables, running through said building block, wherein said building block includes a plurality of holes at the ends of said block and at the top and the bottom of said block for transfer of infrastructure elements between adjacent blocks and wherein said infrastructure elements may be inserted after completion of the building through said at least one removable face. 13. The building block according to claim 12, wherein said building block includes spaces for passing through electrical wiring, pipes, tubes, cables and telephone cables. 14. The building block according to claim 12, wherein said elements for self-joining allow for contact between blocks, wherein said contact does not allow for passage of wind or rain. 15. The building block according to claim 12, wherein said block includes at least one male and at least one female joining element as well as one connector at each end. 16. The building block according to claim 12, wherein said building block is used for the construction of walls, floors, ceilings, and roof of a multistory column-free home. 17. A block system for construction of a structure, including the following: a plurality of building blocks, said blocks prepared from polymeric materials and including a removable face for access to a hollow space for passage of infrastructure elements of at least one of electrical wiring, water pipes, steam pipes, Internet wires, phone wires, and cables, and holes at the ends, top and bottom of said block for passage of said infrastructure elements between adjacent blocks during one of construction of said structure or after the completion of the building through said removable face;a closing element, wherein said closing element is adapted to fit within joining elements associated with a plurality of said building blocks stacked upon each other; and,glue, wherein said glue is applied between adjacent building blocks to hold together said building blocks.
