Ordnance: War + Architecture & Space investigates how
strategies of warfare occupy and alter built and other landscapes.
Ranging across the modern period from the eighteenth century to the
present day, the book presents a series of case-studies which
operate in and between a number of settings and scales, from the
infrastructures of the battlefield to the logistics of the domestic
realm. The book explores the patterns, forms and systems that
articulate militarised spaces, excavates how these become
re-circulated and reconfigured within other domains and discusses
the often ephemeral legacies and residues of these architectures.
The complexities of unpicking the spaces of the 'fog of war' are
addressed by an inter-disciplinary approach which deploys graphic
and textual analyses and techniques to provide new and unique
perspectives on a hitherto underexplored aspect of architectural
and spatial discourse: the tactics and programmes through which the
built environment has historically been made to respond to the
imperatives and threats of conflict and, in the context of the 'war
on terror', continues to be so in ever more pervasive ways.
