Item description from seller

A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. Tiny spots on title page. 176 pages. Many color illustrations. "Everyone, rich or poor, deserves a shelter for the soul.Choosing impoverished Hale County, Alabama, for his bold experiment, Mockbee and his Auburn University students peppered this left-behind corner of the rural South with striking buildings of exceptional design. Most use recycled and curious materials: hay bales, surplus tires, leftover carpet tiles, even discarded 1980 Chevy Caprice windshields. [blurb] Keywords: Building Homes, Community Buildings, Poor People, Hands-on Education, Hale County, Alabama, Auburn University, Students, Recycled Materials, Hay bales, Surplus Tires, Leftover Carpet Tiles, Andrew Freear.
