State responses to mass migration rely on a variety of institutions, sites, technologies, and infrastructures – all of which could be thought of as ‘architecture’ – and which are intimately connected to migrant displacements, detentions, and deaths. Whether temporary, bottom-up, or institutionally created, these architectures shape how migration is both documented and governed and against which migrants act and resist.
