- Summary:
- "Contemporary architects and spatial practitioners have turned to scientific and literary ideas about detection to engage with social, economic, and political forces that operate at unhuman scales and speeds. Like the protagonists of fictional detective stories, they promise to go places other people can't. They introduce novel ways of treating material and seeing time to produce forms of evidence that can shore up institutional authority or challenge it. But what quality of time or distance does it take to see criminal intent in routine building practices? Does this focus foreclose alternative ways of thinking about detection? How do we best challenge the algorithmic, the if-then, logic that underwrites the architecture of predictive policing, biometric gatekeeping, and expanding forms of surveillance? Over the course of this issue, scholar Megan Eardley explores these questions with architects, political and aesthetic theorists, artists, and writers who study and make use of architecture in their practices."-- provided by distributor.
