Very interesting connection to slums as well. <BR/><BR/>It seems that economic development brings us farther and farther away from this kind of personalization and craftsmanship. Maybe it will start to come back, driven by the limits of uniformity in mass production. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if stable housing could someday be as customizable as informal housing? Maybe advanced design and production technologies will become more accessible, so anyone can modify a product to meet their needs and suit their preferences. Standards could be set democratically to make sure these products are safe, healthy, etc.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thank you for pointing out these signs!petersigristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653915776728182869noreply@blogger.com
