Foundation and site work -- Roof bearing assembly -- Base plates -- Window and door bucks -- The straw bale wall -- Lath -- Stucco -- Interior walls -- Finish details. "Filled with comprehensive case studies selected from over thirty-five of Red Feather's successfully completed housing and community-based building projects, Building a Straw Bale House documents the organization's collaboration with reservation communities and provides a step-by-step, bale-by-bale construction handbook - from initial site selection to finished product. Complete with information on safety, design, tools, and materials, it is an inspiring lesson for anybody interested in this technique of constructing a house and a hopeful redefinition of the fundamental ideas of architecture and the home."--Jacket. |
