The dry stone technique, common to humanity, has been implemented with great inventiveness in daily life: boundary walls, agricultural terraces, huts to protect animals or store crops, water wells to capture water, stairs and paths to conquer the slopes...
Both documentary and practical, this book invites you to discover the dry stone landscapes shaped by man around the world. From the Provençal restanques to the steep terraces of Cape Verde, from the fences of Cévennes gardens to the Japanese temples of Nara, these anonymous architectures remain completely relevant today. As proof, a new generation of dry stone masons has emerged, thus demonstrating the heritage and ecological necessity of preserving and transmitting this know-how.
Five dry stone specialists share their passionate knowledge and experiences. A practical chapter provides detailed visual explanations of wall construction, offering everyone, whether an individual or a professional, the opportunity to build or restore dry stone structures.
