The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy examines the multidisciplinary
overlap between the spatial disciplines and the studies of science
and technology through a comparative study of four of the world’s
most important radio telescopes. Employing detailed analysis,
historical research, interviews, personal observations, and various
conceptual manoeuvres, Guy Trangoš reveals the depth of spatial
process active at these scientific sites and the territories they
traverse. Through the conceptual frameworks of territory,
hyper-concentration, and contingency, Trangoš interprets the
telescope as exploded across space and time, present in multiple
connected sites simultaneously, and active in the production of
space. He develops a historiographic and contemporary analysis of
the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA, Chile); the
Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST,
China); the Arecibo Observatory (Puerto Rico); and the MeerKAT/SKA
(South Africa). These case studies are global exemplars of the
different spatial transformations that occur through science. Their
relationships to surrounding communities and landscapes reveal
deeper constitutional processes embodied in each institutional and
spatial form. This book spans the modern history of architecture
and science, the studies of science, technology and society, and
urban theory. It is of specific interest to architects and
designers expanding their analysis of spatial production, scholars
in the study of geography, landscape, science, technology, and
astronomy, and people fascinated with how these radio telescopes
were conceptualised, built, and operate today.
