today we are sharing some of our favorite books that center on homes and habitats...books for young & old...enjoy!
rebecca & rinne:
we both picked this book...from rebecca: this is a hippie classic from 1973. a compendium of ideas, history, architecture,instructions on everything from making a thatched roof to constructing a geodesic dome. lots of historical pictures of houses around the world that i've never seen before...all kinds of styles of houses, and the hippies that are building them.
kristen: who doesn't dream of a good treehouse? when i was thinking of a name for my business, i was trying to think of a place where your mind and imagination would run wild. hence, my shop called treehouse kid and craft.
kristen: this book is something that i reference often. it is filled with recipes and home made tips to live in a natural home.
rinne:
william christenberry has photographed buildings around the south for over 40years, some of them over and over and over again, charting the passage of time across each.
rinne:
we all love rural studio around here and this first book about them is a good primer on their work.
rinne:
a long time ago i was traveling in southern france and visited both of the places featured in the next two books...both are small churches designed by 20th century artists, matisse & jean cocteau, respectively. i loved seeing how they thought through every detail of the space; matisse even designed the vestments used in the services, and cocteau's drawings covered every inch of the walls in his space.
rinne:
we love handmade houses around here.
thank you for reading!
