The author's presentation reflects the rich and varied experiences gained over thirty years of building earth structures all over the world.

Der ressourcenschonende und gesunde Baustoff Lehm, seit Jahrtausenden gebr???uchlich, erfreut sich seit vielen Jahren auch in den Industrienationen wachsender Beliebtheit.
