Building with clay
The must-have tool for any ecological house-building project!
Heir to the cob and half-timbered construction method, straw-earth construction has become the preferred ecological construction method for self-builders. It combines earth and plant fibers within a load-bearing wooden structure. With its low environmental impact and high thermal efficiency, this technique can be adapted throughout France to meet the ecological challenges facing the building industry.
This book, the fruit of over 20 years' practical experience, provides all the information you need to build with earth-straw: structural work, filling, finishing, not forgetting essential legal points. Rigorous and instructive, it's a must-have tool for all straw-and-earth construction sites.
