First published in 1977, this book presents a radically new approach to architecture and construction. The authors believe that people should design their own homes, streets, and neighborhoods, and this idea is based on a simple observation: the most remarkable places on the planet were created not by architects, but by ordinary people.
The publication contains over 250 templates—each includes a description of a specific problem, a discussion supported by an illustration, and a solution. Using this book, you can design a home for yourself and your family, develop an office, workshop, or public building, and collaborate with your neighbors to improve your neighborhood or even your entire city.
