    From the page: "How many people do you know who fit the following profile? A 73-year-old Californian, small and wiry, who is: * an active surfer, skateboarder, and runner; * who, without formal architectural training, installed a living sod roof on the first house he built back in the 1960s, four decades before living roofs became darling icons of the green movement; * who built another house using timbers salvaged from a dismantled bridge; * who constructed a number of geodesic homes, then abandoned the whole concept as being impractical (hello-o-o-o-, Bucky!); * who served as the Shelter editor for the renowned Whole Earth Catalog, and for the past 40 years has been the editor-in-chief of Shelter Publications, producer of books ranging in topics from architecture to fitness to symmetry."
