Theory of architecture

En la antigedad, los primeros arquitectos amasaban la tierra con sus pies para elaborar ladrillos, hoy en da esa imagen est bastante alejada de nuestra realidad. Dado el cambio constante del mundo, los materiales tradicionales de construccin se emplean con menos frecuencia y, por lo tanto, hay menos mano de obra con esos conocimientos. En este manual se ofrece una amplia gama de materiales y formas de construir una casa a partir de la combinacin de tcnicas tradicionales y modernas que contemplan el clima de las regiones donde se desea construir. Todo el texto est acompaado de dibujos que vuelven la informacin ms amena y clara, lo que lo convierte en un libro para arquitectos, universitarios, autoridades de gobierno y tcnicos, pero tambin para todo aquel que quiera construir su propia casa.

In ancient times, the first architects kneaded the earth with their feet to make bricks, today that image is quite far from our reality. As the world is constantly changing, traditional building materials are used less frequently, and therefore there is a smaller workforce with such skills. This manual offers a wide range of ways to build a house from the combination of both traditional and modern techniques, while considering the climate of the regions where you want to build. The text is accompanied by drawings throughout the book that make the information more enjoyable and clearer. This book is for architects, university students, government authorities, technicians, but also for anyone who dreams of building their own home.
