Construire avec les ressources naturelles du massif du Jura

Des savoir-faire à transmettre La pierre sèche, la chaux, les bardeaux et tav(a)illons de bois fendus sont utilisés dans le massif du Jura depuis des millénaires. they contributed à l'unité et à l'originalité des paysages jurassiens. These materials are derived from the most abundant mineral and ligneous resources in the massif: calcareous stone and natural wood. Nowadays, the search for greater energy efficiency in buildings, combined with aspirations for a healthy living environment, encourages us to revisit this knowledge. The book presents the different techniques in a historical perspective, comparing the practices in use on both sides of the French-Swiss border. The return of the soft pier in the construction of public spaces, the rebuilding of the wood endings to guarantee the respiration of the isolated murs, or the very favourable carbon footprint of the revêtements de protezione en tav(t)ave.tions in tav(a)illons are just a few examples of the modernity of these traditional materials, illustrated by a quintet of realisations spread across the entire Jura massif.
