Common Treasures

I was asked to contribute a chapter to this two-book series edited by Amica Dall, James Binning, Giles Smith and Sara Pereira of Assemble. My piece, Fields of Houses, explored the conflicting perspectives on new-build housing in rural areas, through the twentieth century and into the present day.

Common Treasures is a new series of books about the challenges faced by rural communities, written by people who are working on the ground and in the fields. Each volume gathers the very best essays about climate adaptation, food production and land use, and presents them as alternatives to the prevailing political discourse.
