The research for this project coincided with the beginning of the 2020 pandemic, a moment in time that would lay bare a crisis of social care, and how the legacies of unequal housing and infrastructure development have led to the disastrous housing policies of our own time. Drawing from archival collections in New York City and New Haven, Connecticut, the layered images reflect the intimacy and violence of bureaucratic systems. In decentering established narratives of Urban Renewal programs, we can hear community anti-displacement histories, and the insistence of doing memory work to understand the systemic roots of generational housing injustice. The scale and accordion structure of the book allows the reader to experience the pages as a landscape, moving inside and outside architecture, time, and memory. Through records of local and federal housing authorities and adjacent archives, connections are made between racialized housing policy and funding of “Model Cities” that connect histories of land speculation formed from the colonial era to the present-day real estate industry in the urban northeast. In both New Haven and New York City, the logics of high modernist architecture prevalent in the post war period through the 1960’s, mapped people through race, lass, and spatiality into what James Scott refers to in his book Seeing Like a State, the technology of housing. New York’s municipal planners drafted projects inspired by utopic architects like Le Corbusier, which created new public housing models reconstructing American legacies of racist housing policy as ‘Modern’-- Women's Studio Workshop website."},{"label":"Physical Description","value":"1 volume (unpaged) : illustrations ; 21 x 34 cm"},{"label":"Format","value":["Artists' books (books)"]},{"label":"Type","value":["Text"]},{"label":"Language","value":"English"},{"label":"Identifier","value":"Oversize N7433.4.C354H57 2025"},{"label":"Digital Collection","value":["Arts and Special Collections Research Center - Artists' Books Gallery"]},{"label":"Rights","value":"http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"},{"label":"Custodian","value":["Baylor University - Arts and Special Collections Research Center"]}],"description":"History constructs the house that sometimes holds us","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/d221678a-580c-426e-ba4c-15d7d89d7061/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"fa-bookarts-bkk_n7433-4-c354h57-2025_001","height":2949,"width":8339,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/290d0778-4b8f-44e4-9c79-d94f319e681d/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/290d0778-4b8f-44e4-9c79-d94f319e681d","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"},"height":2949,"width":8339},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/d221678a-580c-426e-ba4c-15d7d89d7061/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/290d0778-4b8f-44e4-9c79-d94f319e681d/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/d221678a-580c-426e-ba4c-15d7d89d7061/canvas/_2","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"fa-bookarts-bkk_n7433-4-c354h57-2025_002","height":2893,"width":8323,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/22d0d8c0-ae95-4fe2-9b11-50c73b34dc09/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/22d0d8c0-ae95-4fe2-9b11-50c73b34dc09","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"},"height":2893,"width":8323},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/d221678a-580c-426e-ba4c-15d7d89d7061/canvas/_2","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/22d0d8c0-ae95-4fe2-9b11-50c73b34dc09/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/d221678a-580c-426e-ba4c-15d7d89d7061/canvas/_3","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"fa-bookarts-bkk_n7433-4-c354h57-2025_003","height":2983,"width":4410,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/6e585a5a-2cb0-462b-9296-3138bab3649b/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/6e585a5a-2cb0-462b-9296-3138bab3649b","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"},"height":2983,"width":4410},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/d221678a-580c-426e-ba4c-15d7d89d7061/canvas/_3","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/6e585a5a-2cb0-462b-9296-3138bab3649b/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/290d0778-4b8f-44e4-9c79-d94f319e681d/full/300,300/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/logo"}
