{"product_id":"straw-bale-construction-manual","title":"Straw Bale Construction Manual","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilding with straw bales is a technique pioneered a century ago in the state of Nebraska. In recent years there has been a renaissance in the use of straw as a building material largely in the American Southwest, but also in Canada, Australia, France, Holland, Germany, Austria and China. Straw is a renewable resource with excellent insulating properties. It is a cheap and easy-to-use option for self-builders, and even large-scale structures can be erected using timber framework filled with straw.  This book is a practical, hands-on guide to building with straw. Fire safety, protection against moisture, damp, pests and parasites are treated in detail. Numerous on-site photos document the process of assembly and construction step by step. 30 exemplary international projects illustrate the wide spectrum of design possibilities with straw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"search-metadata\"\u003eDesign and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture Gernot Minke, Benjamin Krick 978-3-0356-1854-9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Birkhäuser Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53181792813384,"sku":"9783035618549","price":58.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0255\/9816\/files\/9783035618549.jpg?v=1779811172","url":"https:\/\/www.hochparterre-buecher.ch\/products\/straw-bale-construction-manual","provider":"Hochparterre Bücher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
