HOPEDANCE MAGAZINE AND SANTA BARBARA PERMACULTURE SPONSORED BOOK SIGNING 
TOUR  in CA
The New Strawbale Home Book Slide Show and Book signing with Catherine Wanek

Building with Bales has begun to enter the mainstream yet many people still 
wonder, what does a strawbale house look like? Catherine Wanek's new book 
The New Strawbale Home provides the answer, anything you want! Innovative 
architects & owner/builders are reinventing this century-old technology to 
create thick-walled modern houses of surpassing beauty, that also save 
energy and are healthy for its inhabitants and the environment.

This practical book compiles floor plans and images from forty cutting-edge 
homes across North America, discussing varying climate considerations & 
essential design details. Chapters include information on budget matters, 
code compliance, siting & energy efficiency, structural systems, & 
finishing touches. It also offers valuable insights & hindsights of 
architects, contractors & owner/builders, and a extensive resource section.

Author, photographer and filmaker Catherine Wanek is a pioneer in the 
strawbale movement. She published & edited The Last Straw Journal, 
co-authored The Art of Natural Building, and produced & directed the video 
series Building with Straw. She also helped co-found the non-profit 
Builders Without Borders. www.strawbalecentral.com
