Home Work
One of the things that I really enjoy reading about is fantastical homes. Whether it is the description of Hobbit holes in The Lord of the Rings or the Neverland tree fort from Peter Pan magical homes have cast their spell on my imagination. This book is a fantastic pictorial of homes from around the world that are real and magical at the same time.
Kahn, Lloyd. 2004. Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter. Shelter Publications. ISBN 0936070331.
What I liked about this book: This is an absolutely luscious photo essay on the topic of hand made shelters and homes. The structures span the globe and each has an enchanting magical quality that blends it to the surrounding environment. The photos are warm and inviting and you wish that you could dive into them and live in these buildings if only for a day.
What I didn’t like about this book: Of all things, the binding. It is a softcovered book and I would have preferred a hardcover coffee table style. This was inconsequential, however, because the contents more than make up for it.
