Description
Environmental consciousness is rising, and for many, the age of mass-market home production has lost its appeal. More and more people are choosing 'green living' and 'green building'. Homebuilders across the country now seek new options and new ways of thinking, preferring viable alternatives to traditional building materials and utilisation of products manufactured with renewable resources.
Enter Home Work, Lloyd Kahn's latest contribution to homemade architecture that illustrates new and even more imaginative ways to put a roof over your head.
Home Work showcases the ultimate in human ingenuity, building construction and eco-centric lifestyle. From yurts to caves, tree houses to tents, thatched houses, glass houses, nomadic homes, riverboats and more, each hand built dwelling finds itself at one with its environment, blending harmoniously with the earth, using organically sustainable material.
Featuring over a thousand photos, including three hundred line drawings, stories of real people building and living in their own houses, plus Kahn's recollections, reminiscences and observations gathered over the 30 years since his previous book, 'Shelter', was first published.
More than simply a house design book, Home Work is about being in touch with one's nature and nature itself, and in doing so, satisfying basic needs from survival to self-expression
