Omschrijving
Stone House Construction is a comprehensive study of Australian stone building techniques in a residential context. It has a strong theme of historic stone buildings, as traditional forms of building respond to the need for structural integrity and stability over time against weathering.
The book covers aspects of local stone building, from quarrying on site to building arches over openings for upper story walls, and is a sourcebook of examples and methods to help the reader to carry on a tradition of building in local stone.
Stone buildings inspire people because they transfer a natural beauty to a human achievement. Using natural local materials is in accordance with the principle of thinking globally, acting locally. The book shows many examples of Australian stonework that have not been given exposure in previous architectural references. It promotes Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) through the continuation of a stonework tradition in Australia
* Describes classic stone construction techniques
* Provides a comprehensive study of building in stone and includes a specification guide
* Shows stone as used in different parts of building and landscape
* Promotes ethical use of a readily available local material
