We published the book Shelter in 1973. It had a large section on "natural
materials" - wood, stone, adobe, rammed earth, bamboo, thatch, and baled straw.
In Shelter, with its 1000 photographs, we showcased builders all over the world,
and encouraged people to take things into their own hands, to create their own
shelter, and to do so in as eco-friendly a mode as possible. These days that's
being called "green building."
In 2000 we published The Septic Systems
Owner's Manual; in 2004 Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter (the sequel to Shelter); in
2005, Wonderful Houses Around the World. We're now finishing The Barefoot
Architect: A Manual For Green Building, by Johan van Lengen. This is the English
translation of a book that has sold 200,000 copies in Latin America. And I'm now
in the midst of putting together a unique book on carpenters of the Pacific
Coast. I spent a year, making four trips up the coast in my truck (San Francisco
to Vancouver Island, B.C.), shooting photos of stunning creative carpen
