The Prodigious Builders – Notes towards a natural history of architecture with special regard to those species that are traditionally neglected or downright ignored (Secker & Warburg 1977) by Bernard Rudofsky is a follow-up to Rudofsky’s world-famous exhibition and book Architecture Without Architects (1964). In The Prodigious Builders, Rudofsky looks at global examples of ingenious pre-technological alternatives to modern building.
