Building with Earth Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture

ISBN-13: 9783764374778
ISBN-10: 3764374772
200 pages

Written in response to an increasing worldwide interest in building with earth, this handbook deals with earth as a building material, and provides a survey of all of its applications and construction techniques, including the relevant physical data, while explaining its specific qualities and the possibilities of optimising them. No theoretical treatise, however, can substitute for practical experience involving actually building with earth. The data and experiences and the specific realisations of earth construction contained in this volume may be used as guidelines for a variety of construction processes and possible applications by engineers, architects, entrepreneurs, craftsmen and public policy-makers who find themselves attempting, either from desire or necessity, to come to terms with humanity’s oldest building material.
Earth as a building material comes in a thousand different compositions, and can be variously processed. Loam, or clayey soil, as it is referred to scientifically, has different names when used in various applications, for instance rammed earth, soil blocks, mud bricks or adobe.

Building with Earth Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture

In nearly all hot-arid and temperate climates,earth has always been the most prevalent building material.
Even today, one third of the human population resides in earthen houses; in developing countries this figure is more than one half.
It has proven impossible to fulfill the immense requirements for shelter in the developing countries with industrial building materials, i.e. brick, concrete and steel, nor with industrialized construction techniques.
Worldwide, no region is endowed with the productive capacity or financial resources needed to satisfy this demand. In the developing countries, requirements for shelter can be met only by using local building materials and relying on do-it-yourself construction techniques. Earth is the most important natural building material, and it is available in most regions of the world.
