The book records the initiative's beginnings: the material itself, the people building with it, and the argument that a building method can carry a community's claim on its own future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning alongside this is a second strand concerned with tools for live performance, and the book holds both without collapsing one into the other. The result reads less as documentation than as a working argument about what design practice can be when it is rooted in a specific place.
