"The book focuses on houses built from materials that either sequester carbon (plants), use materials with very low embodied carbon (earth and stone) or reuse substantial amounts of existing materials. Organized by those materials (wood, bamboo, straw, hemp, cork, earth, brick, stone and re-use), and incorporating life cycle diagrams demonstrating how the raw material is processed into building components, the book shows how the unique properties of each material can transform the ways architects conceive the sections of houses"--Publisher's description
"Building on 'Manual of section', this book articulates how plant-based and low-carbon materials can produce a profound rethinking of section in houses."--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper
