1. A system of interlocking wall and corner components for construction of a building comprising:

  • a plurality of elongate key members and a plurality of elongate side members, wherein said key members are arranged as horizontal pairs of parallel upper and lower key members lying symmetrically in a corresponding pair of vertically spaced parallel horizontal planes, said pairs of parallel upper and lower key members sandwiching therebetween pairs of parallel side members, and wherein said pairs of parallel side members lie in a corresponding pair of parallel, laterally spaced apart, vertical planes, and wherein each said key member having symmetric faces, being each face of oppositely disposed upper and lower faces of each said key member, when assembled in opposed facing relation to an opposed facing said symmetric face of a second key member in said pair of parallel upper and lower key members, form therebetween a pair of joint female receiver sockets, opposed facing sides of said pairs of said parallel side members having a corresponding pair of laterally inwardly disposed joint male members for mating into engagement in said female receiver sockets to form a joint, wherein, when so mated, said pairs of key members and said pairs of side members form elongate horizontal beams mountable one on top of another to form a vertical array of wall layers comprising a wall, and wherein each said side member in said pairs of said parallel side members has a thickness when viewed in lateral cross section therethrough and wherein each said key member has a first width when viewed in said lateral cross section, and wherein the sum of substantially one half of said thickness of both of said side members in said pairs of said parallel side members is substantially equal to at least one half of said first width so that a cavity formed between said pairs of laterally inwardly disposed joint male members and correspondingly between said pairs of key members has a second width when viewed in said lateral cross section which is substantially equal to or less than said one half of said first width.
