Lloyd Kahn on Shelter
Lloyd Kahn is known for his innovations in do-it-yourself sustainable construction during the 1960′s and 70′s. Kahn has written and published numerous books, and his most well known book, Shelter, celebrates the imagination, resourcefulness, and exuberance of human habitat. First published in 1973, the book gave birth to the “Green Building” revolution of today.
Thirty-seven years later, at age 75, Kahn still believes that shelter is more than a roof over your head. His ideas on do-it-yourself construction are especially relevant today, considering our current financial and housing crisis. In the following short film, Kahn gives viewers a glimpse of his daily life, as well as a some of his philosophies on sustainable building.
