Description:
The project was to create a hiding place within beam-and-column architecture. It was a solution to today's political climate: that buildings should include a place to hide people, such as fugitive immigrants, from the authorities.
Goals:
To hide people form the authorities.
Beneficial Outcomes:
«They keep their users, undocumented immigrants, purposely invisible, and safe when deportation-thirsty immigration officers arrive.» Krzysztof Wodiczko (jennypolak.com)
