The Art of Earth Architecture demonstrates the wideranging applications and sustainability of this building material, while presenting a manifesto for its ecological significance. Featuring rawearth masterpieces, monumental structures, and little known works, the book includes the temples and palaces of Mesopotamia, the Great Wall of China, largescale urban developments in Tenochtitlan in Mexico, the medinas of Morocco, and housing in Marrakech and Bogota.This definitive reference features many UNESCO World Heritage sites and contains essays on the historical, technical, and cultural aspects of rawearth construction from twenty experts in the field, as well as hundreds of photographs, illustrations, and architectural drawings.
