Building with straw bales is a technique pioneered a century ago in the state of Nebraska. In recent years there has been a renaissance in the use of straw as a building material largely in the American Southwest, but also in Canada, Australia, France, Holland, Germany, Austria and China. Straw is a renewable resource with excellent insulating properties. It is a cheap and easy-to-use option for self-builders, and even large-scale structures can be erected using timber framework filled with straw. 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. 30 exemplary international projects illustrate the wide spectrum of design possibilities with straw.

This handbook offers a practical, systematic overview of the many uses of loam, or clayey soil, and the wide variety of techniques for processing it. Furthermore, the book explains particular building methods relating to prefabricated panels, direct forming with loam, weather protection or earthquake resistance. Numerous drawings and photos of construction sites show the concrete execution of earth architecture. Twenty-seven exemplary international projects illustrate the wide spectrum of design possibilities with earth.

Although traditionally a building material of the warmer climate zones, bamboo is becoming increasingly popular amongst architects in the northern hemisphere; bamboo has several advantages – it is very stable, of low weight, and highly elastic, in addition to being readily available as well as renewable. The applications of bamboo in architecture have become significantly wider and diversified, so that today, even structures with large spans – such as bridges – are built with this material. The new and revised second edition of this manual provides a practical, systematic overview of the numerous potential applications and processing methods of this renewable material. The comprehensive presentation of groundbreaking bamboo buildings has been updated with more recent projects.

Planung, Ausführungshinweise und Praxistipps Grüne Dächer sind nicht nur schön anzusehen: Sie bilden wertvolle Biotope in der Stadt, verbessern die Luft und haben erhebliche bautechnische wie auch bauphysikalische Vorzüge. Sie kühlen im Sommer, wärmen im Winter und verlängern die Lebensdauer des Daches, so dass sie aus ökologischer und ökonomischer Sicht gleichermaßen interessant sind. Außerdem lassen sie sich auch nachträglich einfach und preisgünstig herstellen. In diesem Bauratgeber wird praxisnah und leicht verständlich gezeigt, wie Wohn- und Bürogebäude, aber auch Garagen und Carports mit Gründächern ausgestattet werden können. Mit Angaben zu Kosten und Wirtschaftlichkeit, Hinweisen für den Selbstbau und Bezugsquellen.

Sláma byla v posledních letech znovu objevena jako levný stavební materiál s velmi dobrými tepelněizolačními vlastnostmi. Autoři popisují způsoby stavění a stavebnětechnické zvláštnosti důležité při zacházení se slámou jako stavebním materiálem; uvádějí konkrétní a prakticky zaměřené konstrukční a prováděcí detaily, jimž je záhodno věnovat pozornost, aby se z balíků slámy daly postavit dobře izolované obytné domy s dlouhou životností. Publikace obsahuje pokyny k povrchové úpravě stěnových ploch, konkrétní návody týkající se stavebního procesu i popisy mnoha dosud realizovaných staveb.

Desde la antigüedad se han relacionado ciertas construcciones con una mejor sensación de confort y bienestar. La cúpula es una de ellas. Gernot Mike siempre ha estado fascinado por esta técnica constructiva. Empezó sus primeros prototipos inspirándose en las ±Hogans», viviendas de espacio único de los indios navajos. Posteriormente desarrolló cúpulas y bóvedas con todo tipo de materiales (principalmente de adobe o fardos de paja) por todo el mundo. En este libro Minke nos muestra su labor de investigación, para ponerla a disposición del máximo número de personas: usuarios, constructores y técnicos. Este libro recoge obras del arquitecto Gernot Minke desde los años 1975 hasta 2015

En este libro el arquitecto alemán Gernot Minke vuelve a proponer diseños, propuestas y soluciones realizadas con un material tan accesible como la tierra. Encontraremos diferentes técnicas y varias aplicaciones de barro y de tierra arcillosa cruda, para el interior de las casas. Desde la preparación de suelos, estufas y hornos hasta las novedosas técnicas desarrolladas por el autor: el barro extruido y las mangueras rellenas con barro
