Informalism: Made by the people

This study examines ways for architecture to help and learn from marginalised communities and informal settlements. Four global case studies explore the ways architects are working with communities who create their own informal settlements, and learning from them how to effectively use architecture to help them.

This research (July 2007—January 2009) was updated on- line at www.informalism.net. It involved engaging with communities of informal settlers and the architects, planners, grassroots and advisory community organizations, academics, artists and government agencies who work with them.
