Architectures of Hiding by Rana Abughannam

Architectures of Hiding by Rana Abughannam

With an urgency to amplify narratives that are overlooked, silenced and unacknowledged in and by architectural spaces, histories and theories, this book contends the need for a critical study of hiding in the context of architectural processes.

"This volume performs a masterful reveal of architecture’s masked motives and methodsIts elegant structure presents remarkably rich and diverse insights into architecture’s invisible agencies."

Leslie Van Duzer, Professor of Architecture, University of British Columbia

"The editors have assembled a wide-ranging cast of scholars to account for the unaccounted. Aggregating terms with a family resemblance to the gerund 'hiding' – from camouflage to clutter, violence to veils – the authors discuss how buildings and builders actively occlude their own political, physical, and cultural orders. Interested in post-truth history and criticism of the built world? Then this is a book for you."

David Theodore, Associate Professor, McGill University

“At a time of greater enforcement of data protection principles for the personal information of individuals, this invaluable book delves into an essential topic: understanding the dynamics, the imaginative possibilities, the moral dilemmas and ethical responsibilities of concealment and revealment in architecture, its histories, theories, power structures and overlooked narratives.”

Sophia Psarra, Professor of Architecture and Spatial Design, Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL
