This is the first English translation of The Barefoot Architect (TBA), which was originally written in Spanish in Mexico in 1982. Obviously written with a Third-World audience in mind, TBA nevertheless has a multitude of useful ideas that could be incorporated into North American buildings. At first glance this handbook's 697 pages are intimidating, but fear not - this tome is extremely user-friendly, as it employs only simple drawings and brief text to convey a wealth of handy ideas for laymen/owner builders and professional contractors alike. The only exception to that last statement is that TBA has a rather skimpy index.TBA starts off with a thoughtful design overview which shows how to situate your house, say, to take advantage of the prevailing winds, solar orientation, terrain, and vegetation on your building site. Subsequent chapters cover considerations and methods for building in deserts, jungles, and temperate zones. Granted, not many Norte Americanos will want to build their homes with bamboo, thatch or handmade adobe bricks, but there are plenty of examples of materials and construction techniques that I wouldn't hesitate to use where I live in Northwest Wyoming.The use of modern insulating, siding, and roofing materials that would be familiar and available to Americans is little discussed. Remember that the primary audience for this handbook resides not in North America/First World, but in the southern hemisphere, where most citizens don't have our economic wherewithal. I would not use a lot of TBA's suggestions in the building of my primary residence, but for outbuildings, walls, gardens, get-away cabins, etc., I would use this book in a heartbeat for my construction bible. Thoreau would have loved it. Perhaps in a post-peak oil world, TBA will become a must-have resource for those of us who have to live more simply and take advantage of the building materials close at hand. Most discussions in TBA readily stimulate one to think of practical uses for the natural resources that surround us all.
After my wife and I had finished writing The Straw Bale House and were beginning work in Mexico on a number of projects, we came across this book during our travels. We loved it so much we set out trying to find out where we could get more copies. The search took us to a bookstore in Mexico City where we bought several cases to bring back to the States. They were so popular with friends that we gave away/sold all of them in almost no time at all. It's just a marvelous little book with simple but very clear illustrations. Quite truthfully I'm totally amazed that Lloyd Khan the publisher came across this book and decided to print it in English. But then again, that's what makes Lloyd the entertaining publisher that he is.
This is a very interesting book.It appears to have been written for Peace Corps volunteers or their ilk.It is profusely illustrated with line drawings that complement and clarify the content.It overs all aspects of home building for those in developing areas (OK that was the PC version, it really is for people with nothing, that are dirt poor, that have to make do w/what's close at hand, i.e., those in poverty.)That being said I found it to be very educational because if tables were reversed, I wouldn't have a clue and this book might get me started out right.
Exceptional book on vernacular architecture and practical building. This "how to" approach addresses the 2nd and 3rd world's building practices from the direct perspective of someone who understands building in the tropics. A vital and useful book for any interested student of the best practices for 1000 aspects of the diy community building in impoverished areas of the world. Completely practical and honest, and vitally up-to-date for building anywhere but the hideously code-infested wealthy Western world. Truly a gem.
If you plan on ever building in the third world (or off the grid in the developed world) this book is filled with tips and techniques that are used by traditional builders the world over. There is a section on everything from jungle construction to all the various forms of waste management in the world.
Great book. Simple but has lots of design principles to help the “diy†type design their off grid home.
This is a fabulous book. It is filled with a real sense of hope and empowerment about one's place in the world. And with clear diagrams and drawings for constructing energy-efficient, locally sustainable habitation. My only complaint (talk about 1st world problems...) is that it's written for a Southern Hemisphere audience, so directives about solar gain can become confusing, e.g. the north wall in this book is the south wall to me.
I recommend this to engineering students getting involved in development and construction in majority world settings. More than just how to: WHY TO. Great illustrations, almost could use overseas without any translation, the diagrams are that clear.
