Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

This beautifully illustrated coffee-table-style volume serves as an introduction and resource guide for people interested in building residences using environmentally sound materials. The book is arranged by building type and includes adobe, rammed earth, straw bale, and "reinvented, recycled, and high-tech materials." Photographs of custom-designed homes in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Texas and California that were built using these materials provide both illustration and inspiration.-Southwest Books of the Year

Reseña del editor:

A lavishly illustrated tour of twenty-two houses built using alternative methods, Living Homes proves that sustainability and high style are not diametrically opposed. Broken down into sections exploring four styles of homes--straw bale, rammed earth, adobe, and recycled materials, each method is explained and illustrated. Beautifully photographed, Living Homes includes urban homes as well homes in such idyllic locations as Crested Butte, Colorado, Tassajara Canyon, California, and the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico. Illustrates an organic sensibility in tune with the weather, the light, and the homes' natural surroundings.
