Hollow Land: Israel's Architecture of Occupation

3 reviews
Eyal Weizman

Verso, 2007

Highly original, powerful
Weizman's analysis of the articulation (division, consolidation, dimensionality, etc.) of space as a primary expression of political power is highly original in approach, full of extraordinary insights, and provides a powerful moral argument against the occupation of Palestine. While some writers theorize about this sort of thing, Weizman's application of highly refined ideas to concrete ...

010 Uitgeverij, 2000

Round About London
The book, structured according to the colors of the traffic light - red, yellow and green - is an architectural study and proposal for London. With a fascinating mixture of very imaginary proposals and studies for the city on the one hand, and very "hard-core" economical, financial and building-rule - based analysis, it offers an inspiring and very novel view of London as a global city. The ...
