Architecture and Anarchism documents and illustrates 60 projects, past and present, that key into a libertarian ethos and desire for diverse self-organized ways of building. They are what this book calls an 'anarchist' architecture, that is, forms of design and building that embrace the core values of traditional anarchist political theory since its divergence from the mainstream of socialist politics in the 19th century. These are autonomy, voluntary association, mutual aid, and self-organization through direct democracy. As the book shows, there are a vast range of architectural projects that can be seen to reflect some or all of these values, whether they are acknowledged as specifically anarchist or otherwise.
