Description

Shelter is many stuff – a visually dynamic, oversized compendium of organic architecture past and present; a how-to book that comes with over 1,250 illustrations; and a Whole Earth Catalog-type sourcebook for living in harmony with the earth by the usage of each and every imaginable subject matter. First published in 1973, Shelter remains a source of inspiration and invention. Including the nuts-and-bolts aspects of establishing, the book covers such topics as dwellings from Iron Age huts to Bedouin tents to Togo’s tin-and-thatch houses; nomadic shelters from tipis to “housecars”; and domes, dome cities, sod iglus, or even treehouses.
The authors recount personal stories about alternative dwellings that illustrate sensible solutions to problems associated with the usage of materials found within the environment – with fascinating, frequently surprising results.
