Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical and practical applications of building with earth, offering a compelling solution to the challenges of modern construction. Faced with a shortage of traditional materials, the author explores alternative methods that utilize readily available resources and local labor. Drawing upon ancient techniques preserved in Europe and the colonies, the book examines the use of PisÃÂ de Terre, a method of ramming earth into walls, as well as cob, a mixture of clay, shale, straw, and water. The author traces the rich history of these methods, highlighting their durability and aesthetic appeal. Through detailed descriptions and illustrations, the book provides practical guidance on the construction process, including the composition and mixing of materials, building techniques, and considerations for drying and foundations. The author emphasizes the importance of local knowledge and traditions in adapting these methods to specific environments. Ultimately, this book challenges conventional notions of building materials and offers a sustainable and cost-effective approach to housing construction. By rediscovering the wisdom of the past, we can create homes that are both environmentally responsible and deeply connected to their surroundings.
