Book Description
Earthships son un tipo de edificacia3n autosuficiente que se mantiene al margen de las redes de suministros energa(c)ticos y que se considera como un edificio "viviente," ya que interactaa con los recursos naturales de la tierra para proporcionar un refugio confortable que regula de forma pasiva su temperatura interior (sin necesidad de utilizar ningan combustible fa3sil), capta su propio suministro de agua y al mismo tiempo reutiliza cada gota recolectada cuatro veces, hace un tratamiento de sus propias aguas residuales y permite el cultivo y crecimiento de comida en su interior. Este libro ofrece a los lectores la filosofa-a basica detras del diseao de los earthships, y ca3mo estos edificios interactaan con la tierra para crear los sistemas que la caracterizan. Por otra parte "Earthship Volumen Uno" ofrece a los lectores instrucciones sobre ca3mo elegir el emplazamiento de su futura Earthship y tambia(c)n la forma de reproducir muchos de los ma(c)todos de construccia3n basicos que se utilizan para construir uno de estos edificios. Este libro es un punto de inicio si usted esta interesado en la construccia3n de su propio earthship, o si simplemente quiere aprender mas acerca de esta innovadora forma de vivir.

6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture
Author: The Getty Conservation Institute
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892361816
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
On October 14-19, 1990, the 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sponsored by the GCI, the Museum of New Mexico State Monuments, ICCROM, CRATerre-EAG, and the National Park Service, under the aegis of US/ICOMOS, the event was organized to promote the exchange of ideas, techniques, and research findings on the conservation of earthen architecture. Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.

Vernacular and Earthen Architecture: Conservation and Sustainability
Author: Camilla Mileto
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351973940
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1166
Book Description
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.

Sustainability and Toxicity of Building Materials
Author: Emina K. Petrović
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323983561
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 693
Book Description
Sustainability and Toxicity of Building Materials: Manufacture, Use and Disposal Stages provides a review of toxicity impacts from building materials, including the consideration of the toxicity in the extraction and manufacture of the materials and eventual dismantling and disposal. This book also offers the potential to stimulate future developments in this area, both in terms of knowledge-building and methods for future research. With the increasing emphasis on sustainable construction, it has become important to better understand the impacts of common materials. Civil and structural engineers, postgraduates, researchers as well as architects will find this book to be useful in selecting sustainable building materials.While many building and furnishing materials are safe to use, in recent decades, some have had to be redesigned due to recognition that they contained problem chemicals like formaldehyde. Unfortunately, there is still limited understanding of the toxic impacts of many synthetic chemicals which means that the risks in this area are not well recognized. With increasing interest in using limited resources more sustainably, definitions of what is sustainable should be expanded to move from the focus on energy and carbon impacts to also include more explicit consideration of toxicity impacts. - Examines toxicity in the extraction and manufacturing of materials - Presents the short and long-term toxicity effects of natural and manmade building materials - Guides readers in selecting building materials that have a positive impact on the health of occupants and the environment
