Description

First published in 1972, Adhocism is a design principle that celebrates everyday improvisations and challenges traditional approaches to problem-solving.

The book's authors, Charles Jencks and Nathan Silver, argue that adhocism is not just a creative technique, but a fundamental way of thinking that can be applied to almost any activity, from play to architecture to city planning. With engaging examples and illustrations, Adhocism shows how trial and error, adjustment, and readjustment are often the keys to solving real-world problems.

Updated with new texts and reflections on its enduring relevance, this expanded edition of Adhocism is a must-have for anyone interested in design, history, architecture, or innovation. With its unique blend of creativity, practicality, and intellectual curiosity, it offers a fresh perspective on the power of improvisation to shape our world.
