Desert Architecture by Michelle Galindo.
In Australia, drought is becoming a permanent climatic condition rather than a recurring event. So architects are leading the way in promoting better uses of water in a residential context. Desert Architecture will be an inspiring book for Australian architects who wish to design houses for a drier future. This hardcover book features domestic projects from regions like the Middle East, which are already au fait with arid conditions. Rusted sandy colours, rammed earth walls and stacked river stones will be the material riffs in our parched and dusty future.
