Architectures of Power and Spaces of Confinement
Representations of the City, Control, Retreat and Memory
Throughout history, architecture and the city have not only constituted the physical framework of power, but have functioned as active instruments of its figuration, legitimation, administration and exercise. Palaces, protected residences, fortresses, bunkers, prisons, segregated neighborhoods, ghettos, ceremonial squares, ephemeral architectures, planned urban complexes and surveillance spaces have served to stage authority, regulate movement, order bodies, produce obedience, define exclusions and construct political imaginaries of security, threat, retreat or domination.
