Building with Rammed Earth

Building with Rammed Earth' provides architects with the specialist knowledge they need to incorporate rammed earth into their everyday building and planning work. Reflecting the rapid development of this old-new construction method, it provides building professionals with practical planning tools. As well as presenting contemporary buildings and their construction details at a scale of 1:20, the book also covers life cycle analyses, building physics and the sustainability of this valuable natural material -- an important issue in the context of addressing energy wastage and resource scarcity. Builders can utilise the widely available excavated material, thereby contributing to more sustainable construction practices. The rules for doing so can be found in 'Building with Rammed Earth'.
