The CHISEL self-build archive
CHISEL want to celebrate all those self-build pioneers who invested their time, labour and no-doubt tears into building their perfect home. Often built using the Segal Method, these projects were mostly completed by complete amateurs. With support and training from architects and experts, they provided the physical exertion and enthusiasm to create unique communities with the aim of minimal impact on the environment.
CHISEL are thrilled to look after a number of such self-build projects in London and the South East. In this archive, we seek to record the history of these unique homes and provide resources which may encourage others to look at alternative ways of living.
Fusions Jameen were London's first black housing co-op. Here we record the ground breaking work of this unique organisation.
