中文简介：

德国摄影师Ursula Schulz-Dornburg的照片将读者带到了Jongensland，这是一个为第二次世界大战后出生在阿姆斯特丹的孩子们设立的空间。Jongensland位于一个只能用划艇到达的偏远小岛上，是年轻人（大部分是男孩）可以玩耍、建造、创造和破坏的地方，很少有成年人监督。Jongensland逐渐发展成为一个由年轻居民用废旧材料试验性地建造的定居点。在这里，孩子们会自己做饭，饲养动物，生火，并相互交易。在没有成人干预的情况下，他们依靠的是共同的智慧和合作的创造力。

1969年，当建筑摄影师Ursula Schulz-Dornburg带着她的两个孩子搬到杜塞尔多夫时，她在德国严格管制的游乐场的另一边发现了Jongensland。她对孩子们玩耍的临时建筑非常感兴趣，并拍摄了大量的照片，记录了这些建筑被建造、使用、拆除和改造的过程。她的照片捕捉到了一种直观的建筑智慧，并记录了一种具有自己的惯例和创新的乡土建筑类型，它阐明了想象力在定义建筑的身份和用途方面的作用。本书介绍了Schulz-Dornburg的大部分未发表和未展出的系列作品，以及摄影师和建筑历史学家Tom Wilkinson之间的扩展对话，反映了该项目继续提供的建筑主题和教训。

英文简介：

In the wake of the Second World War, aiming to occupy the children rampaging streets and parks, the City of Amsterdam founded Jongensland, a space where boys (and the occasional, officially disallowed girl) could play, build, create, and destroy, largely without supervision. Located on an island accessible only by rowboat, Jongensland grew into a sprawling settlement built experimentally from scrap materials by its young inhabitants. Here, children would cook food, raise animals, build fires, and trade with each other. Without adult intervention, they relied on shared resourcefulness and collaborative ingenuity.

In 1969, when the architectural photographer Ursula Schulz-Dornburg moved to Düsseldorf with her two young children, she discovered Jongensland the other side of the border from Germany's strictly regulated playgrounds. Fascinated by the improvised buildings where her children would play, she made extensive photographs capturing them being constructed, used, demolished, and reshaped. Her images capture an intuitive architectural intelligence at work and catalogue a genre of vernacular construction with its own conventions and innovations, one which illuminates the role of imagination in defining a building's identity and purpose. This book presents Schulz-Dornburg's largely unpublished and unexhibited series alongside an extended conversation between the photographer and architectural historian Tom Wilkinson reflecting on the architectural themes and lessons the project continues to offer.
