It supports the process of improving the quality of earth housing and showing the benefits of using earth as a building material. This guide grew out of two research projects – one in a rural area and one in an urban area. Both projects were related to people’s housing needs and were carried out during 1988 and 1999.enEarth blocksTraditional building methodsBuilding technologyConstruction technologySustainable human settlementsHouse designsReportBolton, M., & Burroughs, S.
