Displacements: Architecture and Refugee

Displacements: Architecture and Refugee

by Andrew Herscher (Author), Nikolaus Hirsch (Editor), Markus Miessen (Editor)

Author and urban theorist Andrew Herschers Displacements: Architecture and Refugee, the ninth book in the Critical Spatial Practice series, examines some of the usually disavowed but arguably decisive intersections of mass-population displacement and architecture an art and technology of population placementfrom the 20th century to the present. In architectural history, just as in global politics, refugees have tended to exist as mere human surplus; histories of architecture, then, have usually reproduced the nation-states exclusion of refugees as people out of place.
