The use of rammed earth in architecture is a fascinating fusion of modern technology, ancient knowledge, and innovative construction techniques, and is increasingly attracting attention. Today, rammed earth is not only of interest for alternative or ecological applications, but established architects are also discovering the creative possibilities of this versatile material with its advantageous properties for temperature control. In Europe, Martin Rauch is regarded as one of the pioneers of modern technical and creative applications for traditional rammed earth construction. His work encompasses residential, hotel, ecclesiastical and industrial buildings, interior design and landscape design in Germany, Britain, Italy, Austria and Switzerland, including projects with Herzog & de Meuron and Schneider + Schumacher. His "Church of Reconciliation" in Berlin was the first load-bearing structure to be built with rammed earth in Germany in the last ninety years. Together with local architects Rauch constructed experimental family homes in Vorarlberg, Austria, and with Kienast Vogt & Partner, he designed a series of garden and park projects. This volume is the definitive introduction to contemporary building with rammed earth.

This book provides an insightful overview of the current state of earth building. The author approaches the subject from the perspective of the building material’s life cycle, featuring in-depth explanations of the cycle's individual steps: extraction and classification of construction soil; production of earth building materials and earthen structures; planning, construction and renovation of earth buildings; and demolition and recycling of earthen structures. This unique resource provides examples of sophisticated earth building projects and illustrates the diverse applications of earth as a building material. Compared to conventional mineral building materials, earth possesses particularly positive ecological qualities such as its energy balance and recyclability. Architects, engineers, students, manufacturers and distributors of building materials, building contractors, building biologists, public authorities and preservationists will benefit from this book’s ample coverage of restoring, optimizing and building with this material of the past, present and future.

Vom Bauen mit Lehm, Ziegeln und Holz Die Handschrift der Architektur Es handelt sich um eine Einführung in Bautechniken, die auf Reisen ins Auge stechen, Backstein und Fachwerk, die auf die eine oder andere Art faszinieren. Die besprochenen Bauwerke sind exemplarisch, eine Vollständugkeit wird nicht angestrebt, würde auch den Rahmen sprengen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Ornament, der künstlerischen Gestaltung im engeren Sinn, der Handschrift der Architektur. Geometrische Formen reichen von der Frühzeit bis ins 20./21. Jahrhundert und erscheinen in einer Viellzahl von Variationen. Tradition und Moderne geben sich sozusagen die Hand. Der Reichtum Mitteleuropas an mittelalterlicher Architektur ist umso interessanter, je mehr man dem Detail Beachtung schenkt. Es sind die Kleinigkeiten, die zu Erkenntnissen führen, eine Epoche erhellen, aber auch die Eigenarten einer Region deutlicher sichtbar werden lassen. Lehm und Holz sind nachhaltige Materialien und werden von Anfang an zum Bauen herangezogen. Lehm kann häufig vor Ort gewonnen werden. Bäume wachsen in Wäldern. Ihre Stämme konnten geflößt an Plätze gebracht werden, wo sie nicht oder nicht ausreichend vorhanden waren.. In Backstein- und Fachwerkbau wird Geschichte lesbar. Die Handschrift dieser Architektur verbindet Natur und Kultur, und das seit Jahrhunderten. Architektur ist Erinnerungsspeicher, Geschichtenerzähler, regionales Manifest, lokales Zeichen, das im besten Falle zu uns spricht.

Earth, in common use for architectural construction for thousands of years, has in the past thirty years attracted renewed attention as a healthy, environment-friendly and economical building material. What needs to be considered in this context? The manual Building with Earth, which has been translated into many languages, describes the building technology of this material. The physical properties and characteristic values are explained in a hands-on manner: With proper moisture protection, earth buildings are very durable, and in particular the combination with wood or straw allows a wide spectrum of design options. Numerous built examples demonstrate the range of applications for this fully recyclable material.

Vernacular architecture in general and earthen architecture in particular, with their rich variety of forms worldwide, are custodians of the material culture and identity of the peoples who built them. In addition, they are widely recognized as ancestral examples of sustainability in all their variants and interpretations, and the architecture of the present ought to learn from these when designing the sustainable architecture of the future. The conservation of these architectures – seemingly simple yet full of wisdom – is to be undertaken now given their intrinsic value and their status as genuine examples of sustainability to be learnt from and interpreted in contemporary architecture. Vernacular and earthen architecture: Conservation and Sustainability will be a valuable source of information for academics and professionals in the fields of Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, Construction and Building Engineering and Architecture.

Earthen architecture is widespread all over the world and demonstrates a significant richness of varieties both in application and in materials used. This book discusses and debates the lessons that can be learned from earthen architecture to create sustainable architecture today, both for the conservation of traditional existing buildings and the
