Reviews

'With its stunning images, this book convincingly demonstrates that the renaissance of earth architecture is no longer merely a pipe dream, but has become a tangible ecological reality - and this is very much thanks to the active militancy of its authors ... it reveals an astonishing multitude of homes, architectural archetypes and cities built in the very earth that anchors them' - Jean-Louis Cohen, Sheldon H. Solow Professor in the History of Architecture at New York University Institute of Fine Arts
