[Cob] looking for books (or websites) w/ cob images in Africakelly at artktecture.ca kelly at artktecture.caSun Aug 19 14:12:16 CDT 2007
If you are interested in earthen building in Africa, I would recommend going to Mali. The architecture there is amazing!!! I have some pics on my website at www.artktecture.ca Cheers, Kelly ------------- I took a 3 week owner-builder course at Cob Cottage in Coquille, Oregon in 2003. I remember perusing a book or two in the common/gathering building that contained beautiful pictures of earthen buildings and their interiors in Africa. The book had a hard cover and the images were in color. I can't remember the title for the life of me...I tried African Tapestries but had no hits. Is anyone familiar with a book of this sort or even specific websites. I'm considering going to South Africa, but anywhere in Africa would be good to look into. And since I'm asking, is there anyone with specific knowledge about cob building in Barbados or Belize? Thanks! Christina Buffalo, NY -------------
