This book presents the research work by artist Lara Almarcegui on the "Maisons Castors" housing complex in Villeurbanne, which originated from a collaborative self-building movement of the 1940s. Within this movement groups of families built their dwellings by pooling their skills, reminding us that each building is a bearer of the history of a place and that its preservation or not over time is an indicator of political will as well as of social realities.
