Self-built architecture as a pirate utopia

Abstracts

EN

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.
