An exploration of the urge in human beings to feel at home in the world, and the role that architecture plays in this process.We human beings are governed by the urge to conform and blend in with our surroundings. We follow fashion. We become part of cultures of conformityreligious communities, military groups, sports teams; we take on corporate identities. Likewise, we seem to have the capacity to grow into our built environment, to familiarize ourselves with it, and eventually to find ourselves at home there. We have a chameleonlike urge to adapt, and, given the increasing mobility of contemporary life, we are constantly having to do so.The desire for camouflage is a desire to feel connectedto find our place in the world and to feel at home. In Camouflage Neil Leach analyzes this desire and its consequences for architectural concerns. Design, Leach argues, can aid the process of assimilation we go through when we adapt to our surroundings. Design can provide a form of connectivitya mediation between us and our environmentand it can contribute to a sense of belonging. Architecture, and indeed all forms of design and creativityfashion, art, cinema, and otherscan be an effective realm for forging a sense of belonging and establishing an identity.Camouflage offers a range of overlapping and intersecting theoretical perspectivesfrom an overview of psychoanalytic insights to an account of the magical properties of architectural modelsthat together suggest a way to rethink our relationship to the world and the role that design plays in that relationship.
