Charles Holland points out how incredibly odd much of the architecture of the sort of ordinary housing developments that spot the suburbs of both the UK and the US is. Not exactly what Rudofsky meant by “architecture without architects”, I don’t think, but the questions Holland asks (“Where do these forms and materials come from?”, “Why does so much of the country look like this?”, etc.) are nonetheless vital, if only for the ubiquity of their subject matter and the unironic seriousness with which he asks them.
