Wow. This is a new favourite for us. For fans of The Whole Earth Catalog, alternative living, tiny homes, self build and a particular home made, back to basics (but not at all spartan) aesthetic and way of life. Learn, build, salvage, rebuild.
"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.
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, inspiring book."
