This paper presents the issues of architectural and spatial development of tramp settlements and campsites during the 20th century, with an emphasis on how the use of these sites changed depending on the degree of their formal recognition. It places this type of sites and buildings into the wider context of informal architecture research, and also discusses how the official recognition of such sites was related to changes in ownership and privacy perception.

The network of social links becomes a form of contestation in modern cities. In the light of that, this article takes a look at informal forms of living (nomadic lifestyle of Romani people, slums, illegal refugee camps), treating them as decentralised, autonomous spaces that function as a variation of a networked community. Self-built architecture ‘glued’ to conventional urban spaces results in ‘pirate utopias’, idiomatic forms of modern urbanisation. Through their ‘quiet transgression of the ordinary’ they challenge the binary division into public and private goods, the importance of order and control of public space, while breaking the frameworks of modernity.

The article analyzes the informal architecture of bidonvilles, contemporary shanty towns or slums in Casablanca, Morocco. In the years from 1920 to 1950, Casablanca was an architectural laboratory for French architects and urban planners. New plans of the city expansion by Tardif, Prost, Courtois, and Écochard aimed to structure the uncontrolled sprawl of the city, and define the urban layout of the respective districts. Bidonvilles kept growing as a result of mass migration of the Berbers who were detribalized under the French Protectorate and forced to move from the country to the city. The text discusses bidonvilles as a specific form of transferring “ruralness” to the globalized and overcrowded urban space. It is an expression of willful architecture, “architecture without architect”, erected by the users themselves, out of necessity, without respect for construction standards.
