# SELF-CONSTRUCTION /// Introduction

This month's thematic would be about self-construction.Self-construction always takes place in an interesting debate for the reason it questions the role of the architect. Moreover, it often succeed to achieve an amazing architecture and urbanism in the pureness of a necessary function, to inhabit. Does that mean that the architect could be considered as a luxury supplier, more or less hidden behind a pseudo artistic or intellectual discourse ? It must not be that simple, but beyond the flagellating exercice of the architect of being amazed by architecture without architects, this same architecture ask some real questions about where to stand as an architect.We will thus try to see a bit clearer during this month.
