Architecture without architects
Book • 1964
Architecture Without Architects explores nonpedigreed and vernacular architecture, celebrating the ingenuity and resourcefulness of traditional building practices.
The exhibition, curated by Bernard Rudofsky, highlighted structures created by indigenous cultures around the world.
It challenged the prevailing norms of architectural design by showcasing buildings that were shaped by local materials, climate, and community needs.
The book emphasizes the value of learning from these time-tested methods that prioritize sustainability and harmony with the environment.
Rudofsky's work encourages a reevaluation of architectural principles, urging architects to consider the wisdom embedded in vernacular traditions.
It serves as a call to appreciate the beauty and functionality of architecture that arises organically from its cultural and ecological context.
