Colin Ward bol vplyvný britský anarchista a autor, ktorého dielo sa sústredilo na nehierarchické formy spoločenskej organizácie a na riešenie problémov bývania a plánovania pomocou anarchistických princípov. Zaoberal sa najmä témami ako svojpomocné bývanie, neformálne osídľovanie a kritika prebujnených plánovacích regulácií. Ward obhajoval flexibilnejší prístup k bývaniu, ktorý by umožnil ľuďom stavať si vlastné domovy postupne a v menších celkoch, inšpirovaný architektonickými systémami ako bol ten od Waltera Segala. Jeho vízia spočívala v odstránení autoritatívnych štruktúr a ich nahradení samosprávnymi, decentralizovanými komunitami, kde majú byrokratické tendencie najmenší priestor na rozvoj.

Shed all the tears for one-hundred more years,but our compass is now moral-rotten.How dare we proclaim each year just the samewhen each war says we’ve all long forgotten?Silhouette in the Sunset has been created in tribute to the 100th year anniversary of the end of World War One. It is an unashamed pacifist voice throughout, written from a philosophical, social, political, and personal perspective.I hope to have captured a range of expression through rhythm, form, language and imagery, raising more questions than ever attempting to offer answers or solutions. Perhaps one major theme is how it seems increasingly difficult in this morally fractured world to truly differentiate between friend and foe.
The argument of this book is that an anarchist society, a society which organises itself without authority, is always in existence. Through a wide-ranging analysis - drawing on examples from education, urban planning, welfare, housing, the environment, the workplace, and the family, to name but a few - Colin Ward demonstrates that the roots of anarchist practice are not so alien or quixotic as they might at first seem but lie precisely in the ways that people have always tended to organise themselves when left alone to do so.
