As an important component of concrete, cement - like other scarce resources - will only be available in limited quantities in the future and will become increasingly expensive to trade. It is necessary to pay more attention to alternative building materials.
This volume presents a wide range of built and unbuilt projects as well as new strategies for the realization of earthen architecture - a construction method that can be adapted to any culture and context. The authors use impressive examples to present groundbreaking technological innovations, illustrating the advantages of this material: from its worldwide availability to the possibility of complete recycling, from climate-neutral production to its socially responsible use, especially in emerging countries.
