Author: Felix Hilgert'Building with Rammed Earth' provides architects with the specialist knowledge they need to incorporate rammed earth into their everyday building and planning work. 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. Reflecting the rapid development of this old-new construction method, it provides building professionals with practical planning tools. Builders can utilise the widely available excavated material, thereby contributing to more sustainable construction practices. ISBN 9783955536763.
