Anarchist architecture, also known as anarchitecture, is a term used to describe architecture with anarchist intentions, or architecture by people who unconsciously follow anarchist principles such as decentralization and self-organization. According to anarchist theorists, anarchitecture should be done for the needs of individuals or small communities instead of power structures, such as capitalism or the state, like conventional architecture. Examples include housing projects and conceptual art by anarchist architects, self-built houses in informal settlements and squatted buildings modified by the inhabitants.
