"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.

Paul Lewis, Marc Tsurumaki, and David J. Lewis are the founding principals of LTL Architects in New York City and professors of architecture at Princeton University, Columbia University, and Parsons School of Constructed Environments respectively.
