Clay and lime renders, plasters and paints Reviews

This highly informative and sumptuous book shows how the threat of climate change is also an opportunity to make buildings more beautiful.

-- Sunand Prasad, President, Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)

Adam and Katy are rethinking how we build, and coming up with something beautiful.

-- John Vidal, Environment Editor, The Guardian

A splendid book. A real addition to what's out there and very complementary to the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings' new technical manual on Old Building Repairs.

-- Kevin McCloud, Grand Designs
