Located on an island accessible only by rowboat, Jongensland grew into a sprawling settlement built experimentally from scrap materials by its young inhabitants. Here, children would cook food, raise animals, build fires, and trade with each other. Without adult intervention, they relied on shared resourcefulness and collaborative ingenuity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1969, when the architectural photographer Ursula Schulz-Dornburg moved to Düsseldorf with her two young children, she discovered Jongensland the other side of the border from Germany’s strictly regulated playgrounds. Fas­cinated by the improvised buildings where her children would play, she made extensive photographs capturing them being constructed, used, demolished, and reshaped. Her images capture an intuitive architectural intelligence and capture a genre of vernacular construction with its own conventions and inno­vations, one which illuminates the role of imagination in defining a building’s identity and purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book presents Schulz-Dornburg’s largely unseen series alongside an ex­tended alongside an extended essay by architectural historian Tom Wilkinson reflecting on the architectural themes and lessons Jongensland continues to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEmbossed hardcover\u003cbr\u003e21 x 29 cm, 96 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE SIGNED EDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe signed edition includes a slip signed by the artist and bound into the inside back cover.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43345448141024,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/USD_HutsTemplesCastles_angled_860x_b742db0c-9be8-4d03-ac94-ff49a571da75.jpg?v=1662649501","url":"https:\/\/todomodo.live\/en\/products\/huts-temples-castles-ursula-schulz-dornburg","provider":"Todo Modo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
