This publication provides practical guidance on appropriate methods
of conservation and repair of earth buildings using traditional
building materials. It is the first major work on the subject since
Clough Williams-Ellis and the Eastwick-Fields published "Building
in Cob, Pise and Stabilized Earth" in 1947. The book deals with the
nature of clay and chalk, their qualities and characteristics, and
the way in which they have been used to construct buildings. Advice
is given on soils analysis, the philosophy of repair techniques and
the factors to be considered before altering, converting or
extending an earth building. The author primarily advocates repair
techniques using traditional materials, but he also considers the
role played by certain modern materials, and assesses their
suitability.
