Hippie Architecture
Fun new books for your library, to offset your Corb and MDRVMMDRMDRMVRD, by the extraordinary Lloyd Kahn. He plays the jug, he writes books about teepees, he likes his water heated by the sun.
The New York Times > Home & Garden > If I Had a Hammer? What Do You Mean If?BEFORE McMansions, before the counterculture was granite and marble, there was Lloyd Kahn, champion of the hand-built house, a road-kill-skunk skin warming his chair, a chin-up bar suspended from the rafters.
For 35 years, Mr. Kahn, 69, has been a steadfast chronicler of offbeat owner-built shelter: straw and mud houses, solar-powered houses, geodesic domes beloved by hippies (of whom Mr. Kahn was one) and made from chopped-up cars pounded into submission and bent into triangles.
