Book excerpt: "In this pamphlet, architect Usman Haque and media theorist Matthew Fuller look beyond established precepts and explore an alternate technology of space making derived from the politics of "code" itself. In a conversation of sorts between the protocols of Free, Libre, Open Source Software (FLOSS) licenses and those of spatial construction (building codes, zoning ordinances), the authors attempt to map out a quasi-license by which the architecture of the city might be remade in the manner of FLOSS software, and suggest a series of 76 constraints by which this license might be manifest in the open, collaborative production of urban space."--Publisher's Web site.
