Includes bibliographical references.
Loosely based on the German publication: Das neue Lehmbau-Handbuch, originally published in 1994 and now in its sixth ed.
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. Twenty seven exemplary international projects illustrate the wide spectrum of design possibilities with earth.
