Traité de Construction en Terre

CRATerre

Earth is the most widespread building material in the world: the vast majority of human habitation uses it. From vernacular examples that combine centuries of experience and elaborate know-how, to contemporary achievements that incorporate a real degree of sophistication and advanced technical research, earthen construction reveals the richness and variety of its potential while adapting to a wide variety of contexts. This treatise has the ambition to serve as a practical and didactic manual. It is intended for all those involved in construction projects: decision-makers, planners, site managers, architects, engineers, contractors, masons, but also students and researchers. The 600 illustrations ensure perfect readability for all those involved in the act of building.
