SUMMARY

Indefensible Space features a prominent cast of contributors writing on one of the central urban issues of our times: the increasing envelopment of public space and public life by an architecture of security. Starting from the most literal level - concrete barricades and barriers in front of buildings, beefed up border patrols, gated communities, "safe rooms," well defended office spaces - to more abstract levels - enhanced surveillance at public spaces such as airports, increasing worries about contagion, the psychological need for fortified space - the contributors cover the full gamut of securitized public life in America today.Sorkin, Michael is the author of 'Indefensible Space The Architecture of the National Insecurity State', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415953689 and ISBN 0415953685.
