Wes Janz, an architectural educator at Ball State University, has initiated One Small Project, a collection of projects related to his forthcoming book: Building More, Wanting Less: architects searching for relevance, one person, and one small project at a time.

The site features a range of projects that operate on the periphery of “proper” Architecture—provisional structures, bricolage tactics, leftover materials, displaced persons, vernacular contexts. Contributions come from architects, designers, artists, activists, and others working across the globe.

You’ll also find my Provisional Monument project included as a contribution to One Small Project. It’s exciting to be included with such a wide array of substantial and critical work.
