At this time of heightened awareness of climate change and environmental damage an Irish publisher Seedpress announces the launch of a new book Hemp Buildings: 50 International Case Studies, which offers a ray of hope with many examples of what the world can do to address these challenges. A comprehensive overview of 50 projects this latest book from author and hemp expert, Steve Allin, draws on architectural examples of every kind to showcase the vast range of possibilities available when using hemp-based materials for construction. Since the 1980's, this unique material together with the systems that have developed from it has provided vital pointers to how buildings can become more energy efficient. Through lowering carbon emissions and promoting a healthier environment, hemp has a clear role to play in providing innovative solutions that lead us forward into a cleaner and more sustainable future.
In compiling this book, Allin focuses on a variety of projects with diverse economic, cultural, climactic and geographical backdrops, all of which include the use of hempcrete and hemp fibre insulation. He outlines how and where the various materials for each project were sourced, as well as the stunning range of finishes that can be and were achieved. Explaining the approaches chosen by each client, designer and builder, the book containing over three hundred and fifty colour photographs, tells the story of builds from all over the world. The constructions range from medieval building renovations through to modern industrial designs; and whether it is an entire housing development in England or a new home built for a poverty stricken widow in Nepal, included with each example is not only the necessary technical information, but also the very real human story behind each one.
Priced at 40 euro the book is available from www.seedpress.ie and all good bookshops.
