 Shelter June 6, 2006

Wow! 6 stars!
Get lost in this book forever! Be inspired! I keep on finding new stuff in this all the time, loads of great ideas, amazing stories. I think the format makes it even more fun and loads of hand drawn sketches give you loads of inspiration. Check out Homework too and see how many people shelter has inspired. I love it, i bet you will too.
 Excellent introduction to alternative housing... January 12, 2001
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I am currently researching for a book on alternative housing and found a second hand edition of this book in a bookstore - it looks very much like I was beaten to it by these guys. They've done an excellent job - with articles on Tipis, domes and even pictures of a squatted housing community in London. I especially like the small black an white picture of the driftwood house built on top of a waterfall... The only reason I wouldn't give this 5 stars is because of the format of the book - Its the same size as a broadsheet newspaper (although this may have changed with newer printing of this title) and with around 200 pages is even more difficult to read on the train.

I believe this book was out of print for a while so it is nice to have it back. Architecture students or anyone with an interest in architecture would appreciate this book. It is a good look at how humans have satisfied one of our basic needs. It is an exhaustive collection of human habitats, written in a clever and unprentious way (unlike most architecture books!). If you like this book, you may also enjoy books by Witold Rybczynski such as Home, and Looking Around.
