Ein umfassendes Referenzwerk zum traditionellen Bauen Vom Pueblo zum Fachwerkhaus oder dem japanischen Minka – traditionelle Bauweisen zeigen eine faszinierende Vielfalt und prägen mit ihrem Erscheinungsbild das Gesicht von Regionen. Doch im Zuge der Globalisierung werden sie vieler Orts zurückgedrängt. Gerade in den sich am schnellsten entwickelnden Ländern geht ein jahrhundertealter Erfahrungsschatz unwiederbringlich verloren, der auch für modernes Bauen von Interesse ist. Am Beispiel von ausgewählten Wohnbauten aus allen Kontinenten zeigen 30 internationale Experten, warum wir noch immer von diesen traditionellen Bauweisen lernen können: Sie analysieren den kulturellen Kontext, die Anpassung an topografisch-klimatische Gegebenheiten und legen ihr Augenmerk auf die verwendeten lokalen Materialien und die Konstruktion, den Bauprozess und den notwendigen Unterhalt. <ul> <li> Zahlreiche Beispiele vernakulärer Wohnbauten aus allen fünf Kontinenten </li> <li> Mehr als 1000 eindrucksvolle Farbfotografien und detaillierte Planzeichnungen </li> <li> Auch auf Englisch erhältlich </li> </ul>

Using the examples of selected domestic buildings from all continents, 30 international experts demonstrate why we can still learn from vernacular architecture; they analyze the cultural context and the adaptation to topographic/climactic conditions, and focus on the local materials used as well as on the construction, the building process, and the necessary maintenance. <UL> <LI>A comprehensive reference work covering traditional building methods </LI> <LI>Numerous examples of vernacular domestic architecture from all five continents </LI> <LI>More than 1000 impressive color photographs and detailed drawings </LI> <LI>Also available in German </LI></UL>

[...] the further you look in this admirably illustrated compendium, the more admiration you feel for the way in which materials and construction techniques combine to create not just shelters, but homes. Editor Christian Schittich can be proud of his achievement in producing such a comprehensive volume, arranged by geography, New discoveries abound on almost every page.
