Hiding is a crucial part of the architectural lineage of the oppressed – in particular, the act of hiding in plain sight. So, what is hiding? Is it always physical? Is it always centered around the act of going into hiding? Is it always domestic, focused on contortion and survival in someone else’s cellar or attic? The answer is overwhelmingly no. In the case of a violent group that hunts people based on their identity, hiding is an act that implies a sense of safety, of maintaining autonomy, of self-hood. It keeps you alive which is an act of both passive and active resistance. But our day to day life is not always one of active crisis. There are many other conditions that render people “hidden”, and they are overwhelmingly mundane. In this installment, Architecture for Hiding People focuses on the fictional institution, The New Center for Housing Equity, Palm Springs. Through defining spatial relationships and utilizing narrative creation, it explores the topics of institutional visibility and representation.
