Читать книгу More Straw Bale Building - Peter Mack - Страница 48

For environmental and cost considerations, it is often worthwhile to study historical building materials and systems. Timber framing, stone masonry, wattle and daub, and thatch all offer the potential to use sustainably harvested natural materials to create beautiful, non-toxic, efficient homes.

In pursuing your ideal home plans, we encourage you to research these methods and to apply them in creative ways that are appropriate to your project, your location, and your climate. Our goal is the creation of healthy, environmentally sound, appropriate housing; we find straw bale construction to be an excellent option in this pursuit, but by no means the only option. Unique hybrids of straw bale and the materials mentioned above are often the best solution for creating the ideal building for any given circumstance.
