Home Work is our sequel to Shelter and
illustrates new and even more imaginative ways to put a roof
over your head, some of which were inspired by
Shelter itself. What Shelter was to ’60s
counterculture, Home Work is to the “green building
revolution,” and more. From yurts to caves to tree houses to
tents, thatched houses, glass houses, nomadic homes, and
riverboats, each handbuilt dwelling finds itself at one with
its environment, using natural materials. Master builder Louie Frazier's Japanese-style pole house in
Northern California, reachable on a 500-foot cable across a
river / Ian MacLeod's handbuilt stone house in South Africa,
where baboons jump on the roof at night / Ma Page's bottle
house in the Nevada desert / Artist Michael Kahn's
semi-subterranean sculptural village in Arizona / Bill and
Athena Steen's strawbale houses / Ianto Evans' cob houses in
Oregon / The Archlibre group of countercultural builders in
the French Pyrenees / Bill Coperthwaite's spectacular
3-story yurt in the Maine woods / Bill Castle's
finely-crafted log home and sauna in the NY Appalachians / a
commune in the Tennesee mountains / The "Flying Concrete"
brothers in Mexico and their far-out sculptural structures /
Barns in California, Washington, and Connecticut /
Photo-essays of Lloyd Kahn's trips to Nevada, the
Mississippi Delta, Costa Rica, Nova Scotia, and Baja
California / Photos of buildings all over the world by
photographers Yoshio Komatsu and Kevin Kelly / and much more
