About this book
Reviews
“Surveillance, architecture and control is a key text for all scholars who are researching surveillance regardless of their discipline. The different sections in this book show the wide variety of surveilled spaces and they reveal the potential for further analysis into the relationship between surveillance and architecture. ... a cultural studies approach to surveillance studies enriches the discussions and debates in this field and it demonstrates why a transdisciplinary approach to surveillance studies is necessary.” (Jade Hinchliffe, C21 Literature: Journal of 21st-century Writings, Vol. 7 (1), 2019)
“Buildings will never seem quite the same again. This collection gives us a key to create better environments and to inhabit them more critically.” (Eric Stoddart, University of St Andrews, Scotland)
