Inhaltsangabe

Approximately 50,000 Jews survived the Holocaust in occupied Poland and Ukraine, some of them using hideouts. Driven by necessity, they were forced to seek refuge in unlikely and seemingly unsuited places such as tree hollows, closets, basements or sewers–staying there for days, and sometimes even years. They are a testament to the architectural creativity of those who had to secure the basic means of sustaining life with minimal resources, without being able to radically alter the space available to them. <br /> Architect, scholar and artist Natalia Romik has identified and studied several hideouts that still exist today. Her research, resulting in the exhibition Hideouts. The Architecture of Survival , accentuates the material and spatial dimensions of living in hiding, gathering the evidence of vernacular, architectural creativity employed under life-threatening conditions. This interdisciplinary catalogue, addresses the fundamental question of the function of architecture in relation to the history of violence and our culture of commemoration.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Approximately 50,000 Jews survived the Holocaust in
occupied Poland and Ukraine, some of them using hideouts.
Driven by necessity, they were forced to seek refuge
in unlikely and seemingly unsuited places such as tree
hollows, closets, basements or sewers-staying there for
days, and sometimes even years. They are a testament to
the architectural creativity of those who had to secure the
basic means of sustaining life with minimal resources,
without being able to radically alter the space available
to them.

Architect, scholar and artist Natalia Romik has identified
and studied several hideouts that still exist today.
Her research, resulting in the exhibition Hideouts. The
Architecture of Survival, accentuates the material and spatial
dimensions of living in hiding, gathering the evidence
of vernacular, architectural creativity employed under

of architecture in relation to the history of violence
