Natural Building involves construction with materials that have undergone less processing and manufacturing than conventional synthetic products.
Describing the many materials and methods that have been used by the pioneers of natural building, this book discusses the reasons why various materials have been chosen. Illustrated with over 220 colour photographs and diagrams, it is aimed at architects, self-builders, environmental groups, and at those interested in green issues.
