Abstract

This chapter explores the processes of decentralisation of architectural design
through a series of design experiments and prototypes that develop an alternative
governance model for architectural design, one routed into a new political economy
for architectural design with a scope of transforming architecture into a non-
extractive, allographic discipline.
