the rammed earth house the rammed earth house
David Easton

"The Rammed Earth House" is a beautifully illustrated example of how the most dramatic innovations in home design and construction frequently have their origins in the distant past. By rediscovering the most ancient of all building materials - earth - forward-thinking homebuilders can now create structures that set new standards for beauty, durability, and efficient use of natural resources. Rammed earth construction is a step forward into a sustainable future, when homes will combine pleasing aesthetics and intense practicality with a powerful sense of place.
Rammed earth homes are built entirely on-site, using basic elements - earth, water, and a little cement. The solid masonry walls permit design flexibility while providing year-round comfort and minimal use of energy. The builder and resident of a rammed earth house will experience the deep satisfaction of creating permanence in a world dominated by the disposable. 274pp

building in cob, pise and stabilized earth building in cob, pise and stabilized earth
Clough Wlliams-Ellis

First published in 1919, this fascinating book is still relevant today. He was interested in earth building because of the scarcity of conventional building materials after WW1, but what he found is now very relevant to environment-conscious builders today. Williams-Ellis designed the village of Portmeirion in Wales. 216pp
