What if we re-contextualized our relationship with our environment and became more curious, tactile, and imaginative? What if we imagined the urban environment as a playground-how would we move differently through it? Campusing: A Secret History & Buildering Guide to UC Berkeley attempts to answer these questions with the theory, history, and practice of BUILDERING, the act of climbing on buildings or urban structures. This book details likely the most comprehensive collection of Buildering history with a general history as well as a UC Berkeley specific history, through oral interviews, physical archives, and online research.

This book also provides 300+ routes on UC Berkeley campus, and portrays the current generation of building climbers. I encourage people to practice buildering respectfully and safely, so that we can continue to dance in urban spaces. I hope you can find opportunity and beauty in the ordinary and unassuming.
