The Rammed Earth House (Real Goods Independent Living Book)
The Rammed Earth House (Real Goods Independent Living Book) by David Easton, Cynthia Wright (Photographer).
The beauty and grace of rammed earth construction is described in fascinating detail by David Easton. The photographs of different structures, both modern and ancient, by Cynthia Wright, create a breathtaking glimpse into a building technique that is as old as human history, but exactly suitable for today's resource-conscious and environmentally friendly building needs.
Trees may be getting a bit scarce these days, but there's no current shortage of dirt, the main component of rammed earth homes. From such a prosaic material, gold has been spun in these timeless, graceful, and nearly indestructible homes and buildings.
Published/Edition: April 1996.
