A few weeks ago I decided to start giving away books featured on this blog, starting with a copy of the catalog and activity guide from this year?s Exhibit Columbus, New Middles, which I sent to the first person who correctly answered a trivia question about that Midwestern bastion of modern architecture.
Today I'm giving away a copy of Raw Earth as a Construction Material, a technical guide to compressed earth blocks by LEVS architecten, the Dutch firm that has realized many buildings with CEBs. Similarly, the recipient will be based on correctly answering a bit of trivia.The venue for the giveaways is this blog's weekly newsletter, which goes out (almost) every Sunday at 11am EST. If you're not already signed up for the newsletter ? it's free, by the way ? you can do so right here. And if you subscribe via Gmail, be sure to check your promo folder, as Google has a way of pushing newsletters like mine into that version of purgatory. Note: Due to the prohibitive cost of sending books overseas, I can only send giveaway books to addresses in the United States. My apologies to people outside of the US; if this situation changes in the future I'll let that be known in the newsletter.
