Papercrete Info Package By Gordon Solberg The quintessential overview of building with paper, compiled by the editor of Earth Quarterly and Papercrete News. Covers all aspects of this extremely low-cost construction method, which uses recycled paper, sand, and portland cement or adobe dirt. Includes techniques, formulas, photos, and illustrations. Review: In the seemingly never-ending search for inexpensive and indigenous building materials, it should come as no surprise that paper be included among the latest discoveries. It is, after all, a wood fiber, and just about anything fibrous mixed with cement should have some structural potential. It’s only fitting, then, that the folks at Earth Quarterly—a small publication out of Radium Springs, New Mexico, that routinely explores low-cost building technology—should publish a book entitled Building with Papercrete and Paper Adobe: A Revolutionary New Way to Build Your Own Home for Next to Nothing. Author Gordon Solberg has compiled more than 20 articles from past EQ issues along with introductory material, a assortment of correspondence, and some collected observations. The 96-page paperbound volume is filled with over 200 black-and-white photographs of various papercrete and paper adobe projects, the latter an experimental lightweight block-formed material. Building with Papercrete and Paper Adobe is the kind of cozy reference you will probably find yourself going back to because it contains such an eclectic mix of how-to, theory, and positive attitude.
