Pawley, Martin — Garbage Housing

G : in good condition with chipped and edge-creased dust jacket. Spine sunned. Ex lib with stamps and markings London The Architectural Press Ltd First Edition 300mm x 220mm (12" x 9"). 120pp. B/w illustrations. A provocative architectural critique which that proposed consumer waste could become a major resource for solving housing shortages. Pawley developed the idea of 'secondary use' the notion that products should not lose value after their first function but instead be directly reused as building components (e.g. bottles, cans, car parts). The message is particularly resonant today.
