‘To begin this book, and the day, what does it take to get the morning sun into the kitchen?’
A delight to read before designing or building your own home. General ideas on light, heat ventilation, house placement, acoustics, financing. Specific building tips on all aspects of building but mainly post and beam houses.
This is an easy way for a beginner to frame a house (as opposed to stud-wall construction), and it gets a roof over your head right away to keep the rain off while you finish the walls. Most of this information is seldom considered by architects, and is culled from the author’s building experiences. You are encouraged and told how to pick up pencil and paper and design your own home–tailormade to your own specifications, aspirations, and finances, and, although not in great detail, how to build it yourself. A discussion and treatment of homes as human environments and a good place to start if you have no design or building experience.
[Lloyd Kahn, The Last Whole Earth Catalog p.94]
