Building with Heart: Practical Approach to Self and Community Building - Tapa blanda
Reseña del editor:
Building for oneself or for the community has many benefits - besides reducing costs, it can provide an interesting and worthwhile experience for those participating and also an opportunity to produce a beautifully crafted building which could not otherwise be afforded. However, to be viable, it needs to be approached in ways that are often the opposite to conventional methods. As a communal task, self-building can involve anyone, regardless of skill, strength or practical ability. On the other hand, few people will stick at it unless the experience is nourishing - the artistic element is essential to inspire and nourish. Based on the author's experience of building, including houses and a Steiner school, "Building with Heart" is a guide to all aspects of community-built projects, from design and organization to the practicalities of choosing and using materials.
Biografía del autor:
Christopher Day has studied architecture and sculpture and has been committed to eco-architecture and an ecological lifestyle since the 1970s. He has received four design awards, including a Prince of Wales Award, for his work on eco-houses and Steiner schools. He pioneered a consensus design method, which has now been used in over 60 projects. As a designer, consultant, lecturer or teacher, Christopher has worked in 20 different countries from California, USA to New Zealand, managing the construction of 150+ eco-homes across many income-levels cultures and climates. Continuing to work despite being disabled for the last fifteen years, Christopher has developed a further specialism in adapting environmentally friendly buildings for disabled residents.
