Excellent- More about The Routledge Handbook of Architecture, Urban Space and Politics, Volume I: Violence, Spectacle and Data
This handbook explores how architecture and urban space can unsettle the unquestioned construct of the spatial politics of governing, focusing on the complex nexus of politics, architecture, and urban space. It highlights the need to explore the politics of spatialization to understand the operational nature of spatial oppression and presents studies of actual theories and projects that address spatial politics.
Format: Hardback

Architecture and urban space must evolve to remain relevant in the 21st century, surpassing the approaches of the past century. Despite, or perhaps because of, the intertwined relationship between politics and space, which is often perceived as a representation or outcome of politics, the spatial dimension is often depoliticized. Consequently, architecture and urban development are hindered from driving systematic change, as they are secondary to the event and thus incapable of assuming political roles. This handbook delves into how architecture and urban space can challenge the established notion of spatial politics governing.
In the face of ongoing and unprecedented global challenges such as violence, urban warfare, refugee crises, borderization, detention camps, terrorist attacks, capitalist urbanization, inequality, social unrest, and climate change, this handbook offers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary exploration of the intricate nexus between politics, architecture, and urban space. Volume I begins by emphasizing the importance of examining the politics of spatialization to understand the operational nature of spatial oppression in contemporary times. The active and political reading of space is disseminated through five thematic chapters: Violence and War Machines; Security and Borders; Race, Identity, and Ideology; Spectacle and the Screen; and Mapping Landscapes and Big Data.
This first volume of the handbook presents cutting-edge contemporary debates and offers studies of actual theories and projects that address spatial politics. It will be of interest to anyone seeking to disrupt the reduction of space to an oppressive or neutral backdrop of political realities.
