"Shelter" Lloyd Kahn / Kazumasa Tamai I believe I purchased this used at the Aoyama Book Club for around 12,000 yen. This is a truly exciting book, packed with illustrations and photos of Japanese houses and world architecture, offering plenty of hints for self-building. The inside is clean with no stains. The cover shows signs of use, so please be sure to check the photos. As this is a used item, please only purchase if you understand this. (Excerpt from the cover) "It's refreshing that this 176-page book on architecture doesn't feature palaces, pyramids, temples, cathedrals, skyscrapers, or the Kremlin or the Pentagon. Instead, this book features every conceivable kind of house for people to live in. [Edward Abbey]" "“Shelter” is a must-read not only for those involved in home building, but for everyone who recognizes that the starting point of a lifestyle is the home, and that the home is their origin. [Rolling Stone]" "“Shelter” is a lavish book, composed of over 1,000 photos, countless illustrations, and 250,000 words. It brings together basic shelters from around the world. [San Francisco Chronicle]" "It's time to educate architects. In that sense, this book, which introduces handmade roofing materials and earthen walls, is revolutionary in terms of architecture.
