Publisher Description:
With over 1,000 photographs, Shelter is a classic celebrating the imagination, resourcefulness, and exuberance of human habitat. It includes a history of shelter and the evolution of building types: tents, yurts, timber buildings, barns, small homes, domes, etc. There is a section on building materials, including heavy timber Âconstruction and stud framing, as well as stone, straw bale, adobe, Âplaster, and bamboo. The spirit of the ?60s counterculture is evident, and the emphasis is on creating your own shelter (or space) with your own hands. A joyful, Âinspiring book.dDAB Commentary: With a cluster of books on residential architecture this last week (Ehrlich Yanai Outside-In, Off the Grid, The Sea Ranch, Live Small/Live Modern), I couldn't help but grab the classic book Shelter off my shelf. More accurately, I grabbed it from atop a desk, because the book is too tall (14 inches) to stand upright on one of my bookshelves. The book's large format and wall-to-wall pages of text, drawings, and photographs mean it is packed with information, on primarily self-built and vernacular houses. It is the opposite of the books I featured this week; there are no million-dollar houses, condominiums by the Pacific, glamping, or apartments filled with store-bought product...
