"Barefoot Architecture: A Handbook for Barefoot Architects" by Johan van Lengen is a seminal and highly influential guide to sustainable, low-cost, and self-sufficient building. First published in 1974, it quickly became a go-to resource for anyone seeking to build using simple, environmentally friendly, and locally available materials. The term "Barefoot Architect," coined by van Lengen, refers to a professional who works alongside communities, using their innate knowledge and skills to create culturally and climatically appropriate structures without relying on expensive, imported technology.
