It's just two of the architectural patterns from the book 'A
Pattern Language' Chris has used instinctively as many natural
builders do.
Chris has written a number of books about
natural building, the most recent of them is 'Making
Better Buildings'. The book is a collection of insights into
different natural building techniques and materials to help
you understand the options, characteristics and suitability for
your needs and
climate. His book has many very positive
reviews:
"This is written by one of the world's most experienced green builders
and educators. It provides you with all the information necessary to
compose the shade of green which suits you best. The information
gathered here about issues such as techniques, embodied energy, health
aspects are unique in the world, and is guaranteed to make this book
the leading reference book for environmentally concerned building
planners for years to come", Max Vittrup Jensen, consultant and
