DOMEBOOK 2

DOMEBOOK 2

Out of Stock

A sequel to ‘Domebook One’, highlighting the structures that Lloyd Kahn built with students at Pacific High School, an alternative/experimental school in the Santa Cruz foothills, and providing comprehensive instructions for building shelter out of a wide range of different types of dome. Like its predecessor, it became a staple of the Whole Earth Catalog’s ‘Shelter and Land Use’ section. Also includes an extensive interview with Buckminster Fuller, conducted in Los Angeles in December 1970 by Hans Meyer, and two pages on Drop City, one of the first communities to construct domes to house its members
