Migrant Housing: Architecture, Dwelling, Migration

Migrant Housing
Migrant Housing, the latest book by author Mirjana Lozanovska, examines
the house as the architectural construct in the processes of migration.
Housing is pivotal to any migration story, with studies showing that migrant
participation in the adaptation or building of houses provides symbolic
materiality of belonging and the platform for agency and productivity in
the broader context of the immigrant city. Migration also disrupts the cohe-
sion of everyday dwelling and homeland integral to housing, and the book
examines this displacement of dwelling and its effect on migrant housing.
This timely volume investigates the poetic and political resonance
between migration and architecture, challenging the idea of the ‘house’
as a singular theoretical construct. Divided into three parts, Histories and
theories of post-war migrant housing, House/ home and Mapping migrant
spaces of home, it draws on data studies from Australia and Macedonia,
with literature from Canada, Sweden and Germany, to uncover the effects of
unprivileged post- war migration in the late twentieth century on the house
as architectural and normative model, and from this perspective negotiates
the disciplinary boundaries of architecture.
Mirjana Lozanovska is Associate Professor at Deakin University, Australia.
Her research deploys multidisciplinary theories of space to examine mobility
and exchange and its impact on architecture, diversity and culture, and the
reinvention of the city. She has published widely on migration and architec-
ture, and is editor of the anthology, Ethno- Architecture and the Politics of
Migration (2016).

This book is thirty years in gestation. It is a mountain of a subject, and
though I have published a lot on it, I also needed to disentangle myself
enough to write a book. On each daily walk along the street where my
parents live and Igrew up with my sister, parents and grandmother, Ilooked
at the houses and thought that nothing about these houses or the many fam-
ilies who live in them was mentioned in my architectural education. During
that time my architecture friends who visited my folks were quite astounded
at the look of the street. They were polite but sometimes horried at the
facades. Iloved architecture and became an architect, but it did not seem
right that the house and household that gave me that opportunity was for-
gotten. And Ifelt intuitively it was a very important architecture and house
for many others like me.
That house took me to many other houses. This book would not have
evolved without the vital detail and stories of the southern European
migrants– Italian, Greek and Macedonian– in Melbourne, who welcomed
me into their houses. Itook so long to write the book that many have unfor-
tunately passed on, but Ihope with this account, their histories and houses
will live on as testimony of their contribution to Melbourne and Australia.
Iam deeply indebted to all the people connected to the village Zavoj from
whom Ihave learnt so much and enjoyed the conversations, songs, stories
and laughter. Ifelt humbled by the hospitality of Vesa and Pere and they
have formed an important ethical reference for me. Over the 2005– 15
period I have appreciated the assistance of Mile Veljanoski, Jove Taseski
for taking me to Old Zavoj in 1996, and Nikola Mitreski for the inspired
mountain walk in 2013.
Migration and migrant houses have not had the most popular uptake in
academic work especially not in architecture. The scholars Ihave metalong
the way working in this eld share a similar academic, creative, inventive and
ethical commitment to tell these stories– and these include Iris Levin, David
Beynon, Sarah Lopez, Ayona Datta, Arijit Sen, and now Jennifer Mack; and
the new generation– Sally Winkler, Alexandra Anda Florea, Shilpi Tawara,
Nasim Yazdani, Diasana Dewa Gede Agung. There are many books on this
subject yet to be written. My sincere appreciation to my colleagues who

Introduction
This book examines housing as the architectural construct of settlement in
the processes of migration. Migration is a pressing eld in our contemporary
world, but it is emergent in architecture.1 The artistic work Exit by Paul
Virilio, with architects Diller and Scodio, explores global migration, trans-
lating statistics into a cinematic and graphic representation.2 Teddy Cruz,
and the recent themes of the Venice Architecture Biennale, have brought
migration to the architectural community’s centre stage.3 This new attention
focusing on the design processes of architectural practice does not always
link to critical academic research. The global impact of migration is evident
in the increasing cultural diversity of cities and within urbanisation. Saskia
Sassen has addressed the physicality and spatialisation of contemporary
globalised labour, and Anthony King has brought the global dimensions of
identity and culture into architectural discourse.4 Few studies have examined
migrant housing as an architectural construct of settlement. Fewer still have
addressed migrant housing as it mediates both ends of the trajectories of
migration:migrant housing in homeland places of departure and migrant
housing in the places and cities of arrival and settlement. This duality of
migrant housing is the subject of this book and brings urban narratives of
migration into the same space as the intricate dwelling stories of migrants.
The architectural focus encompasses the multiple, complex and networked
mappings as they interface with the historical particularities, and material
realities of these migrant stories.
Housing is called upon to dene domestic elds, to elucidate contested
terrains of modernity and modernisation, and to document the change
and continuity of traditions of everyday dwelling and vernacular architec-
ture.5 The aim of every migrant is to be housed, and housing facilitates the
processes of migration, settlement and belonging. Migrants and migrant
communities directly participate in their housing through adaptation, add-
ition, extension or the building of a new house, and this constitutes symbolic
materiality, creative productivity and the platform for agency in the broader
context of the immigrant city. Housing is pivotal to any migration trajectory.
A huge exodus of post- war migrants from Southern Europe Italy,
Greece and Yugoslavia were sent along labour migratory trajectories to
2 Introduction

Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and other European nations, and to the
United States, Canada and Australia, fuelling the industries and growth
economies of these host countries. Hundreds of recruitment ofces, set up
in the southern European countries, signed up thousands of labour migrants
and thus established the post- war divide between southern Europe and the
advanced economies. Southern European labour migrants formed a par-
ticular group in migration history.6 Their substantial migrant communities,
southern European ‘way of life’ relative to the cultural environments of the
receiving nation, and the chain migration of their arrival, made the impact
of post- war southern European migrants on their places of settlement both
signicant and identiable as a group. These migrants were mostly poor,
but rarely as unskilled as the nationalist immigration policies recorded.
They bought with them the seeds for reshaping the urban, suburban and
rural environments. They literally bought with them the seeds of foods
and exotic plants that changed the landscape, scent and sense of streets,
districts and market gardens, as well as the contents and textures of grocery
stores, markets and supermarkets.7 They also bought with them metaphoric
seeds. Artisan and building skills terrazzo, concreting, painting, paving
and brickwork– produced new architectural contexts. Interior fabrications,
sewing and gardening produced new spatial atmospheres. Re- use and recyc-
ling of materials and communal ways of building preceded the yet- to- be-
announced ecological approaches to architecture.
In this book, empirical research on the migrant houses in two sites– the
village of Zavoj in the Republic of Macedonia, as a place of emigration, and
the city of Melbourne, Australia, as city of immigration charts the social,
cultural and architectural layers of migrant housing stories. Architectural
documentation– drawings, plans, elevations, photographs and diagrams–
of the vernacular and new migrant housing in Zavoj in the 1988 to 2015
period, and the housing of southern European migrants in Melbourne built
in the period 1955 to 1975, provide the data of a multi- sited case study of
migration.8 Australia’s post- war nation- building campaign and its resulting
migration ows to Melbourne are juxtaposed with emigration from Zavoj
and its erosion as a place of inhabitation in the post- 1945 period. The archi-
tectural analysis of the housing in Zavoj and Melbourne provide the basis
on which to dene the subject of migrant housing and reveal that migrant
housing is a signicant but particular subject. In the village, migrant housing
opposed and contrasted the vernacular architecture, and the place of migra-
tion is contested in the theories of vernacular architecture. How migrant
housing contributes to theories of vernacular architecture may be a subject
for a following book, but in this book dening ‘migrant housing’ was the
critical objective.
The theory resides in the studies of the migrant housing, and how the
houses mediate, stage and negotiate connections and distances, and commu-
nities during the settlement processes of migration. The details– empirical,
archival and documentational of the case studies provide grounding and

depth to the analysis of migration and housing, and material for a discus-
sion of migrant dwelling practices and human subjectivity. An analysis of the
house as transcultural construct across the migration trajectory denes the
scope of the study. Many people departed from Zavoj, and many people from
southern Europe migrated to Melbourne. Some return annually to Zavoj and
have built houses there. Their particular migration histories link the disparate
national narratives of the Republic of Macedonia and Australia.
The settlement of southern European post- war migrants in Sweden,
Germany, Canada and the United Stated extends the geographic scope that
is detailed in the case studies. Research on migrant housing of other ethnic
communities and histories provides the broader context. Hupka’s study of
the housing of Polish immigrants in the late 1800s in North America, Savas’
study of Turkish homes in Vienna, and Mack’s study of the houses of Syriac
immigrants in Sweden provide parallel migrant housing histories.9 Klaufus’
research on migrant housing in Ecuador and Guatemala in Latin America and
Lopez’s study of housing in Mexico examine migrant housing in homeland
sites as the result of remittance nancing of migrants working in the United
States.10 Hirst’s study of migrant housing in homeland Turkish villages and
Iris Levin’s work on migrant housing both in Israel and Australia, focusing
on material culture, brings the emphasis to the migrant home and to a sense
of belonging. These detailed and careful studies draw on ethnography,
anthropology and cultural studies, bringing cross- disciplinary methods and
theories into architecture.
Housing/ house/ dwelling/ home
Housing dominates architectural history and discourse in the post- war period
in Europe, both as a solution to mass housing needs and as the standard unit
for the modernisation of societies.11 Alongside the discourse on housing,
architectural historian, Peter Collins has called the ‘house’ a paradigm of
modernity. Collins is referring to the house as the architectural entity in the
post- enlightenment era as it precedes and encompasses the modern family.
His theory produces a tension between the history of post- war housing
driven by the social welfare state in Europe and a discourse on the house as
the architecture of the bourgeois. And yet in the twentieth century the house
and housing are intertwined. Europe’s central social mass housing agenda
did not cross the Atlantic in the same multiple housing block typology. In
settler nations, replication of the low- rise detached house developed volume
housing as a form of mass housing and produced the suburban morphology
that appropriated vast expanses of green elds.12 Housing and the house are
entangled rather than clearly separate terms and form a major reference for
the modernising histories of twentieth- century architecture.13
The house is prevalent and indeed abundant in the literature in architec-
ture, but neither migrant housing, the migrant house nor the migrant home
are represented in the discipline. Housing as it is linked to home and dwelling
4 Introduction

is differently negotiated among the disciplines of anthropology, ethnography,
cultural geography and architecture, and a cross- disciplinary exchange is
important for the understanding of migrant housing. Architecture’s interest
in the house, yet not in the migrant house, together with the interest in cul-
tural geography and cultural studies on the migrant home but not the house,
have resulted in productive intersections and persistent gaps. The cultural
geographies of home have become a rich area of research, especially in fem-
inist geography with increasing research on the diasporic home.14 In contrast
to these approaches, Australian anthropologist Ghassan Hage has formed
the concept ‘home- building’, and it illustrates how migrant practices such as
planting familiar foods, frequently interpreted as related to homesickness,
can be understood as a way of making unfamiliar places ‘homely’.15
While drawing on these insights about the migrant home from anthro-
pology and cultural geography, this book shifts the focus to the subject of
housing and the house.16 Different to conceptualisations of the migrant home,
the house and housing interact with the exterior as well as the interior. Housing
interfaces with public spaces and produces the architectural space and aesthetic
of the street and neighbourhood, and with architecture’s sense of permanent
settlement, develops new paradigms. Housing denes culture and identity.
The migrants’ aims to integrate and belong in their new environments
were complicated by their confrontation with the architecture and aesthetics
of the conventional local housing. Motivated by an aspiration for a new
life, and drawing upon familiar dwelling habits embodied in their ‘way of
life’, southern European post- war labour migrants embarked on a substan-
tial reconguration of the architecture of their housing. By reorganising
the spatial relations between public and private, front and back, inside
and outside, migrant housing produced new streets and neighbourhoods.
This was extended to urban cultures of cafes, promenading and festivity,
that altered the textures, fabric and aesthetics of the districts and suburbs
where migrants settled. Alarge stock of migrant housing, street architecture,
ballrooms, reception centres and urban environments has resulted from
the impact of post- war southern European migration on cities of immigra-
tion. Altogether, this presents a new taxonomy of housing architecture and
material landscapes that alters the course of architectural history and the
narratives of identity and culture.
Post- war migrant housing
The focus on the houses of post- war migrants rather than the newest migra-
tion communities provides a long retrospective approach to the current
issues concerning migration, and develops a historically informed debate on
migration and architecture. Architecture and the production of houses are
not immediate outcomes in the settlement process of migrants. The houses
of post- war southern European migrants presented the strongest case of
architectural transformation in Melbourne as in Toronto, Astoria, Stuttgart

or Malmö. When migrants inhabit, adapt, purchase or construct houses,
questions are raised about who has access to dening value and meaning,
and how the symbolic and cultural narratives of taste and aesthetics are
formed. In one recent debate, two key migration scholars considered whether
migrants were victims.17 Historical data offers signicant detail and informs
perspectives on the realities of migrants and shows that post- war labour
migrants were certainly the victims of the voracious growth economies
and the racist environments they were inserted into. Some overcame these
trying conditions, many others did not; and while the material obstacles
were overcome, research also shows continuing inequalities in subsequent
generations.18 Post- war migrant housing and its longevity offers an alterna-
tive insight on migration and reframes the politics of the immediate crises
of migration.
Post- war emigration has impacted on the erosion and abandonment
of homeland villages, places of origin that are often invisible in migration
studies. New migrant housing in villages evolved with the inheritance of the
ancestral homes by the emigrant generation. Documentation of emigrants’
return travel to sites of origin (which escalated as they entered retirement)
illustrates that the links between the new and old homeland are routinely
activated rather than memorialised.19 In Zavoj, as in many other villages, a
construction boom has escalated the level of migrant housing, transforming
the village from its neglected state to a more absolute destruction of trad-
itional dwellings. In the midst of such housing, just- constructed tiny houses
constitute the new post- migration phase of the village.
Content structure and chapters
The book is divided into three parts:Part I Histories and theories of post-
war migrant housing; Part II House/ home; and Part III Mapping migrant
spaces of home. Part I develops the theoretical platforms, key concerns and
approaches to the study. The content in Parts II and III is informed by the
substantial empirical research executed in the 1988 to 2015 period in the two
sites of migration:the city of Melbourne, Australia, and the village of Zavoj,
Republic of Macedonia. Part II is central to this book as it examines in detail
what migrant housing is as an architectural construct, and what it means as
a social category. Part III expands the scope of migrant housing towards the
geographical and spatial eld of migratory journeys, mobilities, routes and
roots that parallel the settlement process and the production of housing.
Part I Histories and theories of post- war migrant housing
Chapter 1 investigates how my identity, as the author, a migrant and a
daughter of migrants, is mediated by dwelling and travelling, especially in
eldwork in ‘other’ places. This is examined with a reection on my place
of study. The ‘migrant daughter’s study’ produces the methodological
6 Introduction

infrastructure for this book on migrant housing. It provides a framework for
understanding my position as author through my writing space and, in turn,
the evolving subjectivities of the migrants, of this study, through the produc-
tion of their housing. This current research on migrant housing describes
how the everyday production of migrant housing produces both ‘architec-
ture’ subjectivity and simultaneously challenges the borders of architecture.
To assist in understanding the migrant house as a site where linguistic,
cultural and physical separation is processed Chapter2 draws on the psycho-
analytical theory of abjection (Julia Kristeva) and the anthropological theory
of dirt (Mary Douglas), in addition to theories of identity and performativity
(Judith Butler). It argues how the effects of departure and separation from a
familiar to a foreign environment induces an intensive relationship between
migrants and their houses. The house magnies and becomes the migrant’s
world and interfaces with abject conditions. Abjection also appears in the
negative perception of migrant houses by the receiving communities, and a
disavowal of the village as migrant origin.
The history of post- war labour migration is investigated in Chapter3 pro-
viding a context for post- war migrant housing. Labour migrants are perceived
as a global necessity, but a national problem, and cities of immigration navi-
gate this contradictory terrain. Food, festivities, music and ethnic celebrations
have been highlighted as adding richness to receiving societies. Migrant archi-
tecture, however, has caused protests and negative reactions, and is omitted
from research related to multiculturalism, diversity and plurality.
Housing turns the discourse of post- war migration from one about
growth to one about territory and security. With an emphasis on the cultural
shaping of national narratives, migrant housing also redenes the evolving
discourse on multiculturalism, cultural diversity, and plurality.
Part II House/ home
The architectural character and detail of post- war migrant housing is
examined in Chapter4, arguing that migrant housing architecture produced
a new ethnic aesthetic and new spatial organisation. Bourdieu’s theory that
individuals are located within society through their objects, which function
to produce a ‘sense of place’ and t in society, is the basis for an argument
on the architectural alterations and design reconguration that evolved as
part of the migrants’ inhabitation and everyday dwelling practices. Drawing
on data of migrant houses in Melbourne, this t and formation are discussed
through the migrant garden, the migrant facade, the terraces and productive
spaces such as the summer kitchen.20 This chapter argues that tell- tale details,
singularly and in combination, make evident the similarity and difference
between the house- as- norm and the migrant house, and form the toolkit for
a sociocultural architectural historiography.
Chapter5 argues the architectural outcome of the cultural confrontation
of post- war southern European migrants with the existing local housing
in the 1955– 75 period formed the most architecturally inventive migrant

housing contribution. While the inhabitation or ownership of a house is
a signicant part of assimilation and integration in a society, the migrant
house is a contradictory site that runs counter to the accepted narrative
of dominant cultural identity. This chapter will discuss the combined term,
‘migrant’ (mobility, journey, departure and relocation) and ‘house’ (settle-
ment, foundations, heritage and family) and how it reveals the scope of the
house as material and empirical entity, on the one hand, and the house as
representing a cultural terrain, on the other. It argues that post- war migrant
housing culturally redened meanings of locality.
The traditional and migrant housing in the village is examined in
Chapter6.21 Emigration radically alters villages. Thousands of villages dotted
around the world are left abandoned and neglected, their vernacular houses
collapsed, deteriorated and dematerialised into rubble and soil. Villages may
be left vacant for years or decades, but many also experience a huge con-
struction boom. In Zavoj, documentation of its architectural transformation
over the 1988– 2015 period reveals the slow deterioration of the ancestral
homes followed by the incremental construction of new housing linked to
the inheritance of housing by the emigrant generation. This housing trans-
formation occurs in three phases:rst, as inhabited dwelling enlivened by
everyday use; second, as a set of housing taxonomies linked to the processes
of use, ruin, construction and completion; and third, as itineraries of home
generated by travel between housing in the immigrant settlement and new
housing constructed in the village.
Part III Mapping migrant spaces of home
Chapter7 explores architectural documentation techniques used in eld-
work. Adrawing of the plan of the village Zavoj produces a knowable
form of representation and an image of a place that constructs its archi-
tectural identity as a unied and preserved whole, while the village is also,
after migration, abandoned and disordered. Zavoj is brought into focus as
a global place rather than as a traditional village by mapping the migrant
trajectories to destination cities– Melbourne, Stockholm, Cologne and San
Francisco– onto the plan. Aplan of Zavoj has a dual purpose:to give Zavoj
architectural legibility and to also explore the limits of architectural docu-
mentation by inserting fragments of context and history. Important to this
exploration is Zavoj’s location in the Republic of Macedonia. Rather than
offering a clear denitive geopolitical position, Macedonia further disrupts
the knowability of Zavoj and reinserts the political in the discourse on
migration and architecture.
How the annual festival in the village alters space and time after migra-
tion is the subject of Chapter8. It argues the festival is the time, and the
village is the space, for the re- foundation of a new emigrant community.
On the day of the annual festival of the Holy Mother in Zavoj, the village
is vibrant with people. Acomparison of the 1988 and 2007 festival rituals
reveals a new emphasis on the congregation of the community as social
8 Introduction
8
event rather than as religious ceremony. At the same time, the festival is
spatially concentrated at the church of St Bogorodica rather than spatially
distributed in the village, and the feast is displaced from the housing to the
church. The renewed architecture of the church and its grounds manifests
the space for this annual festival as it constitutes on that one day a cere-
monial re- foundation of the village as home and homeland after migration.
Reconceptualising migrant housing as the ‘twin house’ rather than
as ‘other’ to mainstream or vernacular housing, Chapter 9 responds to
Chapter 1 by positioning architecture and housing in relation to migra-
tion. Emigration set the village on a path towards disappearance, but do the
growing numbers of new migrant houses in the village constitute renewal?
Aphotograph of two houses in Zavoj, a vernacular dwelling juxtaposed
against a new migrant house, represents the ‘twin house’ idea as it illustrates
the similarity in form and difference in materials and construction tech-
nology, but does not reveal the difference in use, programme or inhabitation.
This duality of migrant and vernacular housing in the village resonates with
the duality of the migrant house and the conventional mainstream house
in immigrant cities. An important difference is that the migrant house in
the immigrant city extracts a space for existential territoriality, while the
migrant house in the village converts the space of the ancestral home into
subdivided property and private housing. In that process the sense of
dwelling is displaced from the housing. This chapter will examine the twin
house of migration and will argue that a disappearance of dwelling habitus
from housing results in a diminished form of architecture.
The chapters in Parts II and III are developed and organised ‘to chart the
real story’ that builds the theory from the historical and architectural speci-
city and the particularity of the case studies. In this way the book is written
for a broader audience to include scholars from migration studies, geog-
raphy, anthropology, vernacular architecture, cultural studies and urban
studies. As a compelling case study this narrative may be of interest to gov-
ernment or non- government (NGO) organisations. Coursework students,
and undergraduate students in migration studies and vernacular architec-
ture, in addition to higher degree students, may nd that the case study
approach can be utilised as a methodological research model.

11 Following its utopian and avant- garde role in the inter- war period European
architecture discourse was dominated by reconstruction, modernisation and
growth, in the post-war period. Driven by the immense destruction and the need
for mass housing, and as the standard unit for the modernisation of societies,
housing became central to dening post- war society.

focussing on housing built in the period 1955– 75. Two in- depth studies of housing
built in the period 1955– 75: (i) Elderly Immigrant Housing study carried out
in 2001 with architectural documentation and interviews of three households;
(ii) Northcote Enclave study carried out in 2009 and 2016, see Maria Victoria
Gantala (2009) Migrant House of the 1960s: Transforming Australia’s Brick

21 Research in the village was conducted during a series of eldwork trips in the
period 1988– 2015, with 23 interviews conducted in 1988 of the inhabitants
belonging to the ‘agricultural generation’ and ten interviews in 2010 of the
members of the ‘emigrant generation’. Participants wished for original names
to be used. Fieldwork and documentation of architectural transformation was
carried out as follows:1988, architectural and sociological documentation of the
village inhabited by 80 households, many were resettled members of the ‘agricul-
tural generation’; 1996, identifying continuity and change; 2005 documentation
of changes to the housing; 2007, documentation of the annual festivals, Day of
the Holy Mother, 28 August, and Day of the Epiphany, 19 January (2008); 2008,
documentation of abandoned vernacular architecture; 2010, documentation of
three days preparation and festival, Day of the Holy Mother, documentation of
new cultivation of the landscape and countryside, and new migrant housing;
2012 documentation of emigrant settlements, Leskoeç and Železnička Naselba;
2013 ethnographic documentation of house genealogy; 2015 documenting new
village programme, including new hotel and restaurant.

... However, Australian society was never solely composed of Anglo-Australians (Collins et al. 2020;Davison 2000), nor was the nuclear family the only form of the Australian family (Lozanovska 2019;Shaweesh and Greenop 2020). For example, Indigenous Australians have particular ways of 'doing family', in that there is great value placed on extended family and community relationships, as expressed through distinct domestic behaviours (Dunstan, Hewitt, and Nakata 2020, 323; also see Memmott et al. 2012). ...
... Additionally, Australia experienced mass migration from across the globe, particularly between the 1950s and 1970s, contributing to the cultural diversity of Australian society (Morgan, Rocha, and Poynting 2005). There is a growing body of research that investigates how non-Anglo cultures and non-nuclear families live in Australia's housing stock (Collins et al. 2020;Lozanovska 2019), and the variations in the needs of Anglo and nuclear families that are not necessarily considered when designing speculatively-produced housing (Fincher and Gooder 2007). However, the ways that non-Anglo multigenerational families accommodate their needs in Australian suburbs remains under-researched (Levin 2010;Lozanovska 2016;Shaweesh and Greenop 2020) Drawing on the experiences of 20 participants from 15 households, this paper extends our understanding of how diverse family types (and sub-types), and cultural and social needs are shaping suburban housing in Australia. ...

Housing diversity, which refers to the existence of a variety of housing options tailored to accommodate diverse lifestyles, cultural backgrounds andfinancial capacities, remains conspicuously deficient in Australian cities. In recognition of the imperative to investigate the housing needs of various family types, this study undertakes a qualitative analysis of the housing experiences within multigenerational Lebanese Australian families. The paper analyses data collected through in-depth interviews and household tours of 20 participants from 15 different households situated in Western Sydney’s and Greater Brisbane’s metropolitan areas. The study documents the housing experiences of four sub-types of multigenerational families and elucidates the processes by which domestic architectural configurations are adapted and formulated to meet the needs of diverse multigenerational family arrangements. The study reveals that housing designs play a central role in shaping both positive and negative experiences for Lebanese Australian families, many of which parallel the experiences encountered by broader mainstream Australian society.

In this article, we bring literature from anthropology and architecture together with scholarship in geography. ...

Combining architectural and cultural anthropological approaches, this study explores the domestic spaces of Syrian women in Istanbul in order to understand how they perform ‘home-making’ in a new social and architectural setting. Scholars who study migration and gender are increasingly interested in studying ‘home,’ but few studies examine migrant women’s spatial agency and how space and time are materialized by looking at past and present homes. Methodologically, we add to standard semi-structured interviews and photographic analysis, the method of mental map drawings of houses in Istanbul and reminisced houses from Syria. These methods allow us to examine interrelated spatio-temporal practices of material culture decorations of the residential interiors and (re)creating of daily routines from Syria within the residential interior. Each of these home-making practices is a form of personalisation, control of space and manner of performing gender roles while increasing contentment and belonging. By decorating with objects from Syria, plants, photos, carefully selected furniture; repurposing guestrooms into spaces of religious practice; and cooking, nurturing family members and hosting friends, women create domestic spaces of comfort. Ultimately, this research showcases how migrant women create homes out of new dwellings, even when they are not able to fully revive what has been lost.

The chapter investigates Poland’s transformation from a sending into a host society for migrants through the lens of housing issues and practices experienced by foreigners. As accommodation constitutes one of the most basic dimensions of migrant living, it was utilised as an indicator of migration policy implementation. We argue that Poland neither opposes nor governs migration, encouraging substantial numbers of people, yet not devoting critical attention to their accommodation or well-being in that matter. Qualitative interviews with foreign nationals (N = 25) were carried out and open-coded as part of an exploratory study. The analysis revealed that amid the lack of institutional support, migrants face precarious living conditions, experience prejudice while searching for accommodation as well as while renting, and―to some extent―respond to these inconveniences by self-organising in a quest to fill the void of housing market and accommodation-related services sector. This paper contributes to the discussion about Polish (effectively non-existent) immigration policy.
Chapter
Based on its history, the city of Merauke was a city that developed from the Old Town of Merauke which was formed because it was a post for the Dutch government in the early twentieth century. At that time, the Catholic Missionaries came along with old teachers from the Moluccas who taught education for indigenous Merauke people in the rural area. When the old teachers were on duty in the rural area of Merauke, they need housing in the city area that serves as a place for their families to live which later developed as the Rumah Gaba-Gaba. Then the purpose of this study is to find the form of adaptation that occurs in the architectural elements of the Rumah Gaba-Gaba which later became the forerunner of the uniqueness of the Old Town of Merauke and the development of other sectors in Merauke. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with direct observation and interview techniques (primary data) for 5 observed cases at the location of the Merauke Old Town residential area as well as content analysis and visual analysis (secondary data) in the architectural analysis of the original residence and the Merauke Old Town. The results of this study include an analysis of the adaptation and transformation of the architectural elements of the Rumah Gaba-Gaba (foundations, floors, walls, and roofs) brought by the Moluccans in Merauke.

This paper explores the case of a migrant-owned apartment in Japan that has been rented to migrants for over a decade. The apartment, located in the “house with the red roof,” and people’s relations that develop within and around it are approached through the anthropological concept of “societies with houses.” The apartment is regarded not only as a dwelling but as an institution that governs relations in a loosely tied migrant society with houses. The study contributes both to migrant housing studies, offering an experimental perspective that goes beyond inquiries into migrant spatial distributions and notions of home, and to the “societies with houses” concept through expanding its toolkit and application. The apartment in question not only provides a place to live for migrants but also enacts the functions of protection, capital accumulation, social memory reproduction, disguise and exposure, and metaphorical kinning.

This article explores the role of language in older migrants’ sense of home. The share of older adults with a migration background in Belgium is growing. However, to date, not much is known about older migrants’ sense of home. Looking at language in particular, research suggests that it is linked to identity, possibly affecting one’s sense of home. Therefore, investigating the role of language in older migrants’ sense of home offers a valuable perspective. To explore older migrants’ sense of home, 19 interviews were conducted. During these interviews, the topic of language came up spontaneously. The results show that language among older migrants can concern both a mobility uplift (e.g., creating social and economic opportunities) and a mobility barrier (e.g., obstructing social relations). Concerning the latter, participants discussed resourceful ways to overcome this barrier (e.g., self-made dictionary). Moreover, the interviews revealed the importance of participants’ native language, which also strongly links to identity. This study highlights the transformative influence of super-diversity on the linguistic field. Finally, the results show that the interrelatedness of language, identity, social relations and other characteristics impacts the construction of a sense of home among older adults with a migration background.

Migrant housing investments in the countries of origin are a demonstration of their transnational engagement and their potential contribution to local development. Yet, these investments remain relatively understudied on a large scale. In this paper, we explore three related questions on the drivers, prevalence, and development of transnational housing, drawing on an original survey of Ecuadorian and Indian migrants in different European cities. First, what factors account for the likelihood of migrants owning a remittance house? Second, for those migrants without houses abroad, what factors account for the likelihood of aspiring to have a remittance house in the first place, as opposed to “not being interested”? Third, how do factors affecting the likelihood of owning a remittance house compare to those affecting the likelihood of being a remittance house dreamer? Our findings suggest that, among those without a remittance house, the likelihood of being a transnational house dreamer decreases with the length of residence abroad, while the length of stay has no statistically significant impact on the likelihood of transnational house ownership. We also find that migrants with greater economic capacity are less likely to be dreamers and more likely to be transnational house-owners, suggesting that the difference between being a transnational house-dreamer and a transnational house-owner is often financial. Finally, greater attachment to the country of origin increases the likelihood of being both a transnational house owner and a transnational dreamer. We also discuss how the results change across migrant groups and across genders.

Using the spatial analogy of the migrant kitchen this article makes an argument for diversifying Australian feminist architectural practice and disciplinary inquiry to anticipate other culturally plural framings and experiences of the built environment. Its parallel focus on four ethnographic vignettes offers insights into the ways in which migrants mobilise familial culinary traditions for building ontological security in new environments, examining how constituent parts of kitchen spaces migrate and are adapted by Lankan-Australians in Melbourne and Canberra. It argues that the ‘transmigration’ of kitchens and their hybrid reincarnation uncovers nuanced, temporal, socio-political dimensions of migrant origin and experience indecipherable to host communities that frequently reduce them to ethno-cultural traits. We discuss the assimilatory practices that migrant women of colour daily navigate as revealing the unavoidable complexities within normative constructions of the Australian home. We posit the migrant kitchen as a site of adaptation and persistence in the face of diffused processes of assimilation.

Being a guest in the home of someone else is a meaningful experience in several ways, including the scope it gives for an ethnographic understanding of people’s life conditions, routines and emplaced forms of homemaking. This introduction is an invitation to appreciate the potential of home visits and stays, particularly in research on migrants and refugees, to appreciate both the infrastructural aspects of one’s dwelling conditions and the underlying lived experiences. Home visits, possibly as part of broader research strategies, help to situate people’s identities and narratives in different and more or less unequal household arrangements, at certain points of their biographical, housing and migration trajectories. Methodwise, we discuss the negotiations of roles and identities, as guests and researchers, that are inherent in this fieldwork option, with the attendant relational implications and ethical dilemmas. This overarching discussion paves the way for the case studies presented in the book, across different target groups, locations and scales.

This paper is about the ontology, the materiality and logical structure of art. While I am not trained in the visual arts or architecture, nonetheless I see there are many points of overlap, regions of co-occupation, that concern art and philosophy, and it is these shared concerns that I want to explore. I want to discuss the ‘origins’ of art and architecture, but not the historical, evolutionary or material origins of art – an origin confirmable by some kind of material evidence or research – but rather, the conceptual origins of art, what concepts art entails, assumes and elaborates. These of course are linked to historical, evolutionary and material forces, but are nevertheless conceptually, that is to say, metaphysically or ontologically separable from them. Art, according to Deleuze, does not produce concepts, though it does address problems and provocations. It produces sensations, affects, intensities, as its mode of addressing problems, which sometimes align with and link to concepts, the object of philosophical production, the way philosophy deals with problems. Thus philosophy may have a place, not in assessing art, but in addressing the same provocations or incitements to production as art faces, through different means and with different effects and consequences.

Following writings by Hélène Cixous, this essay fabricates word-pictures and drawn-paintings to follow unconscious murmurs encountered in acts of house cleaning. This labour, understood as an undertaking that forestalls completion and engages with transformative material conditions, is traced through the stories of those who clean architecture. Acknowledging the intimacy of a cleaner with the houses she attends, the writing engages with a labour that, while mostly unrecognised, supports architecture and which can be seen as a form of drawing. In its attention to surface conditions, the material skin that engages with day to day, and life and death, cleaning is never about obliteration. In all its effort and repetitive labour, the act of cleaning permits a sensitivity to the emotional conditions of interiors and the residues of architectural occupancy. The sensitivities of surface are manifest in a series of ink drawings that form a parallel text. The ink drawings borne out of the cleaner’s troubled night time reflections are inscribed and considered as swabs — pathological and affectionate rubbings that seek to retain traces of substance. The drawings and the writing share a tendency to accumulate all the problems and curiosities of ageing matter.

An industrial city on the outskirts of Stockholm, Södertälje is the global capital of the Syriac Orthodox Christian diaspora, an ethnic and religious minority group fleeing persecution and discrimination in the Middle East. Since the 1960s, this Syriac community has transformed the standardized welfare state spaces of the city’s neighborhoods into its own “Mesopotälje,” defined by houses with Mediterranean and other international influences, a major soccer stadium, and massive churches and social clubs. Such projects have challenged principles of Swedish utopian architecture and planning that explicitly emphasized the erasure of difference. In The Construction of Equality, Jennifer Mack shows how Syriac-instigated architectural projects and spatial practices have altered the city’s built environment “from below,” offering a fresh perspective on segregation in the European modernist suburbs. Combining architectural, urban, and ethnographic tools through archival research, site work, participant observation (among residents, designers, and planners), and interviews, Mack provides a unique take on urban development, social change, and the immigrant experience in Europe over a fifty-year period. Her book shows how the transformation of space at the urban scale-the creation and evolution of commercial and social districts, for example-operates through the slow accumulation of architectural projects. As Mack demonstrates, these developments are not merely the result of the grassroots social practices usually attributed to immigrants but instead are officially approved through dialogues between residents and design professionals: accredited architects, urban planners, and civic bureaucrats. Mack attends to the tensions between the “enclavization” practices of a historically persecuted minority group, the integration policies of the Swedish welfare state and its planners, and European nativism.
