“The 21st century self-builder willingly opts for participatory architecture, one that we build together. For reasons of solidarity, but also socio-political, with in mind the desire to found a community of united individuals. In doing so, he follows in the sagacious footsteps of Hassan Fathy, an Egyptian architect who advocates self-construction as understood: popular initiative, as much as possible (Building with the people, 1969). ”
