Techniques
of
Resistance

Techniques of Resistance is a collaborative and ever-expanding archive of communal construction practices. It displays a heterogeneous collection of vernacular, indigenous, and popular ways of doing, ranging from large buildings to small devices. The images gathered aim to function as a database, constructed with the objective of becoming references for architectural projects. The concept is simple: contribute to the archive with one image. Techniques of Resistance is inherently diverse and is built from the spontaneous collaboration of friends, colleagues, students, and unknown contributors.

Techniques of Resistance is a documentation project by Vinzenz Aubry, Manavi Dixit, Domonique Valenzuela, and Harrison White, conceived as part of the Techniques of Resistance architectural design workshop taught by Rocio Crosetto Brizzio at MIT Architecture in the fall of 2024.
