DIY – the act of repairing or making something oneself without the help of experts or professionals – might seem anachronistic to the traditional architect. Yet at a time when the collective sense of self, driven by technology, is in the process of redefinition, the appeal of self-empowerment through self-reliance remains strong.
The vast majority of buildings on this planet are, and always have been, constructed without the involvement of architects. Just as designers are finding ways of creating products and services beyond set manufacturing models, so too are architects finding ways to incorporate DIY thinking and practice into their methods.
It’s time to stop talking and start doing.
