Self-Build Homes
Author: Michaela Benson
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1911576887
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
Self-Build Homes connects the burgeoning interdisciplinary research on self-build with commentary from leading international figures in the self-build and wider housing sector. Through their focus on community, dwelling, home and identity, the chapters explore the various meanings of self-build housing, encouraging new directions for discussions about self-building and calling for the recognition of the social dimensions of this process, from consideration of the structures, policies and practices that shape it, through to the lived experience of individuals and households.Divided into four parts – Discourse, Rationale, Meaning; Values, Lifestyles, Imaginaries; Community and Identity; and Perspectives from Practice – the volume comes at a time of renewed focus from policy managers and practitioners, as well as prospective builders themselves, on self-build as a means for producing homes that are more stylised, affordable and appropriate for the specific needs of households. It responds to recent advances in housing and planning policy, while also bringing this into conversation with interdisciplinary perspectives from across the social sciences on housing, home and homemaking. In this way, the book seeks to update understandings of self-build and to account for housing as a distinctly social process.

Stone House

Category : Building, Stone

Pages : 0
Book Description
Have you ever dreamed of building or at least living in a beautiful stone house? For more than five years Stonefield Publishing's Stone House: A Guide to Self-Building with Slipforms has been the prime source for information on a unique method of stone masonry that affords everyone, regardless of their level of building experience, the opportunity to create walls and even homes of stone. "The technique has been around for a long time," says author Tomm Stanley, "but it's not that well known. Add to that the mystique that surrounds the traditional craft of stonemasonry and there's no wonder that stone houses are not all that common, even in areas where stone is abundant". The book has now been revised and is being re-released with two new chapters, digital enhancement to the original images and new photographs. Stonefield Publishing's Marketing Manager Brad Andersen notes, "We've received a lot of great feedback from readers over the years but one consistent issue was the image quality. We took those comments to heart and with technology that wasn't available to us back in 2003 have just brought the photos to life". Tomm says that writing the new chapters and preparing the revised edition for print allowed him to finally complete his original vision of the book. "One of the new chapters, called Reflections, could only have been written after the passage of time. It's about looking back and thinking about what could have been done differently, what worked very well and also speculating on potential targets for future alteration. It really finished the story for me and makes it more complete for readers." Stone House focuses on the story of Tomm Stanley's own experience of building his house with the slipform method. This book is certainly not your average "how-to" offering; it is more like a tapestry of information and entertainment interwoven with technical advice, diagrams and pictures, tales of the owner builder experience and as the title implies, plenty of guidance on how to build your own stone house using the slipform method of construction. It makes great reading for those that are on the way to becoming self-builders as well as the rest of us that dream of such adventures.

Self-Building
Author: Ayatollah Ibrahim Amini
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1491848804
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
This book deals about the Islamic Gnosticism and present a comprehensive narrative about the Theoretical Gnosticism (Irfan-e-Nazari). In accordance with Islamic Ideology the most exalted aim of God and his divinely appointed prophets is the training and guidance of human being in their spiritual journey from earthly temporary abode towards the eternal Gods Celestial-Kingdom. The main contents of the book as mentioned earlier are the etiquette and instructions of Gnostic journey, ways and manners of servitude, detailed descriptions of deeds and worships that must be performed by a wayfarer, and what sort of behaviors and restrictions they must practice in order to attain the desired results. The book consists of preface and three parts covering the following topics: Self-purification, Human Virtues, What to be?, Heart in Qur'an, Hard-heartedness, Self-refinement, Self-struggle, Egotism, Worldliness, Piety, Characteristics of the Pious, Repentance or Self-Cleansing, Training and Perfection of Self, Faith, Means of Achieving Perfection and Gods Nearness, Invocations, Instructions, Obstacles of the Path, Nourishment of Moral Virtues, Righteous Deeds etc. The most prevalent misunderstanding about Islamic Mysticism which must be clarified is that relinquishment of worldly involvement, seclusion, and monasticism are not prerequisites for undertaking a spiritual migration towards God-Almighty; on the contrary, as it would be shown in the later part of this book, Islam demands from its followers that while living among the people a normal social life discharging the individual and collective obligations, they shouldnt be negligent of their own selves and must pay special attention towards their spiritual purification.

Participatory Design and Self-building in Shared Urban Open Spaces
Author: Carolin Mees
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319755145
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
The book investigates the development of community gardens with self-built structures, which have existed as a shared public open space land use form in New York City’s low-come neighborhoods like the South Bronx since the 1970s. These gardens have continued to be part of the urban landscape until today, despite conflicting land use interests, changing residents groups and contradictory city planning. Both community gardens and self-built structures are created in a participatory design and self-built effort by urban residents and are an expression of the individual gardeners’ preferences, their cultural background and the decisions made by the managing residents’ group in regards to the needs of their neighborhood. Ultimately community gardens with self-built structures are an expression of the people’s will to commonly use this land for open and enclosed structures next to their homes in the city and need to be included in future urban planning.

SELF-BUILDING WITH AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE BLOCKS
Author: Michael Keating
Publisher: BuilderMaker
ISBN: 9403723831
Category : House & Home
Languages : en
Pages : 67
Book Description
Large format, print editons of this book, with full colour photos ilustrating the text descriptions, can be purchased at www.mybestseller.co.uk/M.Keating This is the story of our house build in Germany. This book is intended as a birds-eye view of the work, not a guide to absolutely everything involved with the process. I wrote it is to inform you, the prospective self-builder, on the work involved, in order to help you decide whether this is something you feel you could do yourself. It will not be physically possible to do absolutely everything by yourself, you will still occasionally need a helper or two and the building process may vary slightly in other countries due to availability of specific materials, but the basic procedures in the book remain valid. When we signed the contract for our building materials we were given a German book on self-building with AAC. I didn't speak German and could not find an appropriate English language book, so I decided to photo-document our entire construction process and write a book on it. Many of these photos are included in this book to aid to full comprehsion of the house build (there are no photos in the e-book).
