ABOUT ME
Steve Kornher: Born in Gooding, Idaho, USA, 1950. 45 years building experience, 30 of those years in Mexico. I have been interested in alternative building practices for most of this time and have worked with adobe and rammed earth as well as various types of concrete masonry construction.
Author of The Complete Handbook of Solar Air Heating Systems, Rodale Press, 1984.
I originally came to San Miguel to study pottery.
My most recent projects have been in Central Mexico near San Miguel de Allende as well as several in the USA and Canada.
I am not a registered architect or engineer, so I need to work with one on most projects in both Mexico and the United States.

BOOKS THAT HAVE INFLUENCED MY CONSTRUCTION
- The Owner Built Home, by Ken Kern, Scribner (1975) Great alternative ideas about using concrete.
- A Pattern Language, by Christopher Alexander,et.al., Oxford University Press (1977) see also here
- Any book on Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi of Barcelona, by Luis Permanyer, Rizzoli (1997) is a good one.
