| Item Description: | Translation of: Bauen mit Leichtlehm (8., neubearbeitete und ergänzte Auflage). "First published in 1983 under the name "Leichtlehmbau--alter Baustoff--neue Technik" (Light Earth Building: New Techniques for an Old Building Material) ... In 2013, the seventh edition of this book was published under a new title--"Bauen mit Leichtlehm, Handbuch für das Bauen mit Lehm und Holz" (Bulding with Light Earth, A Handbook for Building with Earth and Wood)--and with a new organisational structure that better reflects the division in earth building materials and building elements used in the "Lehmbau Regeln". The book was expanded to include both traditional historical techniques as well as new methods of manually applying straw-clay and heavy light earth mixtures. These were based on a research project in Limburg and numerous practical tests and investigations ... This, the eighth edition of this book, expands on techniques of building with light earth without formwork and details new developments in the earth building norms. The project section has been expanded to include projects from English-speaking countries."--Foreword. Electronic resource. |
