Description

In recent years there has been a renaissance in the use of straw as a building material, with it being recognised as a renewable source with excellent insulating properties. This book is a practical, hands-on guide to building with straw.

Fire safety, protection against moisture, damp, pests and parasites are treated in detail. Numerous on-site photos document the process of assembly and construction step by step. Thirty exemplary international projects illustrate the wide spectrum of design possibilities with straw.
