O knihe
In many war torn and poverty stricken regions, the indigenous architecture
has been heavy mud and wattle roofs on thick mud walls. These structures, while
cool in the summer, are of very low strength, are maintenance intensive, are time
consuming to build, and are largely in massive disrepair. Replacing these mud
structures with the light weight roofs of latex concrete produces a permanent
architecture significantly more safe and strong, of very low maintenance, and of
remarkably low cost, as the roofs can be built by available unskilled labor. The
time required for reconstruction is considerably shorter than the time required
to replace the older heavy construction, and the self-help characteristic of this
new form of construction leads to more rapid recovery from disaster.
This how-to-do-it manual teaches people how to build these new roofs.
