The second in a six-part series in which Stewart Brand examines buildings around the world and looks at the ways people change and develop them overtime.

For Brand, "low road" buildings are things such as huts, boats, sheds, garages, shacks and mobile homes. They are neither designed, noticed nor celebrated, but they are frequently inhabited by some extremely creative people.
Brand's journey takes him to such diverse locations as a suburban garage in England, holiday chalets in Wales and a beached boat in California.
