This book contains eleven urban/landscape projects to inspire the making of new ideas, not to exhibit solutions. It identifies strategies of invention. Ground and City Adaptations asks everyone to observe and change their surroundings, empowering individuals to design and fabricate. The projects presented are design reactions to perceived problems or untapped opportunities. Some are DIY solutions that can be realized in an afternoon, others would take years of negotiating and convincing civic agencies to adopt change. But both present latent solutions to everyday problems. The ideas presented are to form questions and to stimulate the development of solutions.
