Excavated habitat, troglodytic heritage and its restoration (book) by Patrick Bertholon, Olivier Huet, Ar’site. 2005. Eyrolles editions. Collection Au pied du mur. 228 pages, soft cover. Very good state. French version.
Troglodyte houses are more numerous than their lack of knowledge suggests! The geological variety of France offers, from north to south and from east to west, rocky contexts suitable for their establishment, and they are found in many departments. From cavities grouped around a well-shaped courtyard invisible to passers-by to rooms nestled in the heart of a wall dominating the landscape, these dug spaces offer extreme diversity.
Their restoration requires a good knowledge of the legal, geological and architectural specificities of the troglodyte phenomenon, treated here in depth. Examples of rehabilitation will also give the reader an idea of the pleasure of living in the rock, of this other art of living based on respect for an astonishing nature-architecture.
More than 350 photos, sketches and maps illustrate this exhaustive guide to dug habitat, an inexhaustible source of knowledge and a mine of practical information for any troglodyte candidate.
