• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Albert Narath charts the unique capacities of adobe construction against the backdrop of the global energy crisis of the 1970s, troubling simple distinctions between traditional and modern technologies, high design and vernacular architecture. Drawing insightful parallels between architecture, environmentalism, and movements for Indigenous sovereignty, Solar Adobe stresses the importance of considering the history of the built environment in conjunction with architecture's larger impact on the natural world"--
