Description
This groundbreaking new book presents 60 projects - past and present, real and imagined - of 'anarchist' architecture. From junk playgrounds to Extinction Rebellion in the UK, from Christiania to the Calais Jungle in Europe, and from Dignity Village to Slab City in the USA - all are motivated by core values of autonomy, voluntary association, mutual aid and self-organisation.
These projects reflect a libertarian ethos and desire for diverse self-organised ways of building. They embody the principles of traditional anarchist political theory, including autonomy, voluntary association, mutual aid and self-organisation through direct democracy. This book documents and illustrates these 60 projects, showcasing an 'anarchist' architecture that challenges conventional design and building practices.
