Abstract

ABSTRACT An examination of the material culture of building with earth in Ireland suggests an old and widespread cultural practice that continued well into the twentieth century. Ethnography indicates a highly developed understanding of natural materials and ecologies, considerable practical knowledge, significant technical skill in the rich variety of the types of earth used, a wealth of construction techniques, and a precise, extensive terminology in two languages. Despite its past importance and viability in building, earth is predominantly a devalued and forgotten construction material in Ireland today. Identity is aligned with building in stone, the whitewashed single-storey thatch-roof dwelling house providing the most striking example. This paper explores the use of earth in roof making, and aims to rehabilitate awareness in relation to earth-building practices in Ireland. These include roofing with earth-sod parings, turf and sod walling, the employment of tempered clay in walling, and the use of earth in flooring.

地球的秋季钢十字架:地球表层的物质文化——爱尔兰草皮屋顶的例子
摘要对爱尔兰用土建造的物质文化的考察表明,这种古老而广泛的文化习俗一直延续到二十世纪。人种学表明对自然材料和生态的高度理解、相当多的实践知识、在所用土壤类型的丰富多样性方面的重要技术技能、丰富的建筑技术以及两种语言的精确、广泛的术语。尽管地球过去在建筑中具有重要意义和可行性,但在今天的爱尔兰,它主要是一种贬值和被遗忘的建筑材料。身份认同与石头建筑相一致,粉刷过的单层茅草屋顶住宅就是最引人注目的例子。本文探讨了在屋顶制作中使用泥土的问题,旨在恢复爱尔兰对泥土建筑实践的认识。这些措施包括用草皮削成的屋顶、草皮和草皮墙、在墙中使用调和粘土以及在地板中使用泥土。
