Handbook of earth construction

A must-have for everyone who builds with clay!

This is the comprehensive textbook and reference work on the subject of "Building with Earth". The author shows the wide range of applications and working techniques for clay as a building material and explains its material-specific properties and physical characteristics in a well-founded and practical way. The data and findings gathered from research and practice are complemented by descriptions and images of completed clay buildings and by the experience gained in planning and constructing numerous clay buildings at home and abroad.

“The Lehmbau-Handbuch is a comprehensive compendium aimed in particular at those working in clay construction.” (Monumente)
