English Summary/英文概要： A stunning sequel to the classic 1973 book Shelter, Home Work illustrates even more imaginative ways to put a roof over one’s head, some of which were inspired by Shelter itself. Home Work showcases the ultimate in human ingenuity, building construction, and an independent lifestyle.
Home Work describes homes around the globe built with soul, creativity, and designed with a solid understanding of natural materials, structure, and aesthetics.
Home Work contains over 1,000 photos and 300 line drawings, stories of real people building and living in their own homes, plus photos, stories, and feedback gathered over the thirty years since Shelter was first published.

Awards/获奖情况：“ Please pass along my thanks and heartfelt appreciation to Lloyd Khan, whose Shelter & other books were an inspitation early, often, and for many years. Lloyd, Rudofsky, Baldwin - all have inspired my (satisfying!) lifework, helping create energy & resource-efficient green buildings. It’s a wonderful thing to see in Home Work a new companion to Shelter - it’s like being reunited with an old, lost friend! I can hardly wait till it arrives.”---Ian G. Theaker, P.Eng
“ I’m a young French girl and I discovered "Home Work" in September, 2006. I really, really love your book, it’s amazing ! I look at it all the time, and read a few part sometimes. Now, I have almost read everythings. I think, now, it’s like I know each pictures by heart. So I need more – more pictures, more reading, that’s a book of dreams. When I saw it in the shop, I thought ‘that’s my bible !’ I was always looking for that kind of book about tiny houses, travellers’ houses …but this one is the best I ever saw, and I speak about it with a lot of people. On Christmas, I made a present to my Dad with this book. Now he say, as well, it’s an amazing book.
PS: I’m sorry for my English. I hope you’ll understand what I try to say in spite of my mistakes.”---Camille
