The Architecture of No-one in Particular:
Most of the world lives in buildings that were never designed - just built, adapted, and repaired by the people who use them. These are not failures of architecture, but quiet acts of it. Around the world, communities have long shaped their environments with what’s at hand, building with the land, not against it. Using local materials, passive systems, and intimate knowledge of place, these structures respond directly to climate, terrain, and need.
