Architecture and Armed Conflict is the first multi-authored
scholarly book to address this theme from a comparative,
interdisciplinary perspective. By bringing together specialists
from a range of relevant fields, and with knowledge of case studies
across time and space, it provides the first synthetic body of
research on the complex, multifaceted subject of architectural
destruction in the context of conflict. The book addresses several
specific research questions: How has the destruction of buildings
and landscapes figured in recent historical conflicts, and how have
people and states responded to it? How has the destruction of
architecture been represented in different historical periods, and
to what ends? What are the relationships between the destruction of
architecture and the destruction of art, particularly iconoclasm?
If architectural destruction is a salient feature of many armed
conflicts, how does it feature in post-conflict environments? What
are the relationships between architectural destruction and
processes of restoration, recreation or replacement? Considering
multiple conflicts, multiple time periods, and multiple locations
allows this international cohort of authors to provide an essential
primer for this crucial topic.
