Blurb
Natural building materials represent an ecological and resource-efficient approach to construction, where materials from nature are used deliberately. These include biogenic materials such as straw or wool, as well as mineral materials like clay, which do not regenerate but are abundant in nature. Natural building materials are considered climate-friendly and healthy for indoor environments. They are used in construction, insulation, and finishes. On 232 pages, the volume Natural Building Materials presents around 50 projects from German-speaking countries, Europe, as well as Asia and the Americas - ranging from single-family homes to large office buildings. Complementary essays from a materials science perspective round off the work.
