ITINERANT HOME

Mary Hale's Itinerant Home marks a poignant moment in the history of inflatable structures, mobile architecture, and city rebuilding in the face of disaster. Marrying the three, she created a mobile dwelling place that focuses on mobility, community, shelter, and survival. The work, which was commissioned by the New Orleans Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and was on view during DesCours week in December, symbolizes and stimulates ways of thinking about architecture of the home and the future of New Orleans as a city. Preceding Hale's work, and serving as an influence, is the 1992 Refuge Wear project (pictured below) by Lucy Orta, which popularized the term "body architecture."
