The Art of Natural Building
Trying to take my mind off things during the NaoWriMo-a-thon I’ve taken to leafing through a book I really enjoy. Someday I hope to be able to build one of these on a little piece of land up in the bush. A guy has to have dreams.
Kennedy, Joseph & Smith, Michael & Wanek, Catherine eds. 2002. The Art of Natural Building: Design Construction Resources. New Society Publishers. ISBN 0865714339.
What I liked about this book: This is a wonderful book for those who are starting to think about how the types of buildings and architecture affects our environment and our daily lives. This book has a wealth of information in it about making better, more environmentally healthy living spaces that do not cost an arm and a leg.
What I disliked about this book: The one factor I disliked was that the book was not self contained. I suppose one can ask for too much, but one isn’t going to get it. This book is a starting place only. If you are looking for complete and full detailed plans, this book will only point you in the right direction for your research.
