This book uncovers the ingenuity of traditional architecture created without architects, blueprints, or modern technology. Drawing from cultures around the world, it reveals how climate, materials, and community shaped structures both practical and beautiful. The tone is curious and quietly radical, challenging modern assumptions about progress and design. It invites readers to reconsider what “innovation” really looks like when necessity and tradition lead the way.
