Product details

Adobe construction is not only one of the oldest but also one of the most modern building methods of our time. What economic, ecological, and social opportunities lie in the increased use of earth as a building material? Cement, a key component of concrete, will, like other scarce resources, only be available in limited quantities in the future and will continue to rise in price. It is necessary to pay more attention to alternative building materials. This volume presents a wide range of built and unbuilt projects as well as new strategies for realizing adobe architecture—a construction method that can be adapted to any culture and context. The authors showcase groundbreaking technological innovations through impressive examples, illustrating the advantages of this material: from global availability to the possibility of complete recyclability, from climate-neutral production to socially compatible use, especially in developing countries. This book highlights the remarkable potentials of adobe architecture—for people and for the entire planet.
