Weizman Eyal. Hollow Land: Israel's Architecture of Occupation

London: Verso, 2017. — 352 p. — ISBN-10: 1786634481; ISBN-13: 978-1786634481This new edition of the classic work on the politics of architecture—and the architecture of politics—appears on the fiftieth anniversary of the Six-Day War, which expanded Israel’s domination over Palestinian lands. From the tunnels of Gaza to the militarized airspace of the Occupied Territories, Eyal Weizman unravels Israel’s mechanisms of control and its transformation of Palestinian homes into a war zone under constant surveillance. This is essential reading for those seeking to understand how architecture and infrastructure are used as lethal weapons in the formation of Israel.Introduction - Frontier Architecture
