The idea for my final project, an architectural defense against drone warfare, came from the realization that law had no response to drone warfare. My own understanding of the ongoing [War on Terror pseudonym] as a civil rights issue is irrelevant, we only learn civil rights as a historical happening, not a current struggle. But architecture has a proud anti-legal tradition. Architecture is a way to protect people when law chooses not to. — chapatimystery.com

I love the impulse behind this. Gives me two thoughts:
1. If we want an interior space that is safe from drones, then using a structure that is guaranteed to fail even if a small part of it is damaged seems like a good start. That way the collateral damage will be too high (if it is a large space and public program). So structure itself could become a defense, through vulnerability.
2. If pattern is the defense, then landscaping would be the really powerful technique, wouldn't it? That way you could protect huge swaths of the countryside? Plant three or four crops in algorithmically-defined patterns over thousands of acres.
