provides some excellent meditation on Eyal Weizman's new book Hollow Land: The book is a discussion rather than a singular statement, it constitutes the beginning of an open-ended dialogue, the setting of a forum: a theory saturated with things. What one is confronted with is not architectural theory, but an idea of architecture as a tactic of operation. Probably the most important and commendable achievement of the book is that it points at an acute reality: the crimes that manifest spatially are in desperate need of dismantling; not only by politicians or Human Rights groups, but architects and planners, recognizing the relationship (and their own entanglements) between space and power.
