Shelter: An Architect's Journey Into Sustainability

After practicing conventional glass, steel, and concrete architecture for more than thirty years, an award-winning architect discovers the concept of sustainable living and embarks on a journey that ends with his own strawbale home at the foot of the Grand Tetons.

A complete source of information for sustainable and off-the-grid construction, "Shelter" explores the principles of sustainable living and then illustrates actual execution of those principles in the author s strawbale home. Both an exploration of sustainability from an architect s point of view as well as a practical reference for home builders, "Shelter" is an indispensable resource to those interested in leaving a smaller foot print on the environment.

Follow the author from the beginning idea through the planning, designing, and constructing to the realities of living in his strawbale dream home."
