One Small Project, one big impact
If leftover people, leftover spaces and leftover materials are part of your life, then One Small Project would like to hear from you. The architects, students, designers and artists contributing to One Small Project are working towards helping and profiling the conditions of people known typically as squatters, self-builders, slum dwellers, informal settlers or displaced persons, and are highlighting the unique projects that help some of the 1 billion people who find refuge and community among the spaces that people forgot about, and the materials they threw out.
In an upcoming book called Building More Wanting Less, Wes Janz PhD, RA Associate Professor of Architecture, Ball State University will feature the stories and projects that aim to draw attention to an unfortunate reality. A call for submissions is currently out.
