Shelter
The name Shelter is significant here, as it describes the essence of why we build. When we speak of architecture we think of monumental structures or at least buildings for an elite, and not of the homes built to meet our most human needs. This is what I find so empowering about Kahn’s emphasis on building traditions outside the architectural canon: The message that you can still create your own home, without being rich or a professional. Much of what is presented to us today under the label #cabinporn has little to do with this utopian spirit that encourages a forgotten self-efficacy beyond what money can buy.
Ben Roth at The Door of Percption. Lloyd Kahn Shelter not Cabinporn
Lloyd kahn is still building and still making books. I enjoyed this post so much especially for the pictures of a sort of publishing that’s meant a lot to me over the years. The embeded video is very nice too.
This Saturday, May 6th at Mollusk San Francisco, Lloyd Kahn, the man behind all sorts of wooden fantasies, presents his newest book SMALL HOMES: THE RIGHT SIZE.
A very special introduction by Frances McDormand commences the evening, which includes a slideshow presentation by Kahn, tantalizing tunes by Sandy's, and surf projections by Paul Ferraris. The festivities kick off at 8 pm!
