Book Description

August 1, 2001
In the western world, the relationship between house, home and builder has mostly been severed, removing us from the attachment many peoples derive from making buildings. THE LEMONADE STAND offers a guide to building your own home or shelter in one of many styles from around the world, in the process understanding more about how buildings are informed by climate, materials, tradition, and technology. It is the ideal 'learning-by-building' guide for self-builders, designers, and development workers.
