The resulting experiences in connection with the knowledge of this building material he now wants to pass in a design manual. After designing with clay goes along with the understanding of the material itself.
The publication is therefore divided not by projects, but for components: construction and design to the floor, wall, ceiling and openings are illustrated by the individual project details from Martin Rauch realized buildings. On them is exemplified, how to solve construction problems in earth building and what creative possibilities arising therefrom.
Essays on the material itself and its specific aspects in the field of biology, physics and regulatory matters to complete this fundamental work.
