Architecture and Anarchism documents and illustrates 60 projects, past and present, that key into a libertarian ethos and desire for diverse self-organised ways of building.They are what this book calls an 'anarchist' architecture, that is, forms of design and building inspired by the core values of most forms of anarchism since its emergence as a distinct kind of socialist politics in the 19th century. These are autonomy, voluntary association, mutual aid, and self-organisation through direct democracyAs the book shows, there are a vast range of architectural projects that can been seen to refl ect some or all of these values, whether they are acknowledged as specifi cally anarchist or otherwiseAnarchist values are evident in projects that grow out of romantic notions of escape - from isolated cabins to intentional communities. Yet, in contrast, they also manifest in direct action - occupations or protests that produce micro-countercommunitiesArtists also produce anarchist architecture - intimations of much freer forms of building cut loose from the demands of moneyed clients
