Smoke Break #747: When I Grow Up I Want To Be Like Lloyd Kahn

Portrait

Check out Shelter, an excellent short film on Lloyd Kahn – a societal refugee, home guru and likely master of the freakin’ universe…

Lloyd Kahn claims that shelter is more than a roof over your head. As the author and publisher of over a dozen books on home construction, Lloyd has been grappling with the concept of home, physically and psychically, for over five decades. Situated in the financial and housing crisis, this film profiles Lloyd’s ideas on do-it-yourself construction and sustainability.
