    Hideouts : Architecture of Survival

    Description

    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
    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.

    A graduate in political science, practitioner of architecture and artist, NATALIA ROMIK (*1983, Warsaw) received a PhD at London's Bartlett School of Architecture in 2018. Romik has been awarded numerous grants, including the London Arts and Humanities Partnership, and the Scholarship of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of Poland. Currently she is a postdoctoral fellow at the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah in Paris.
