Bringing together leading scholars in the fields of criminology,
international law, philosophy and architectural history and theory,
this book examines the interrelationships between architecture and
justice, highlighting the provocative and curiously ambiguous
juncture between the two. Illustrated by a range of disparate and
diverse case studies, it draws out the formal language of justice,
and extends the effects that architecture has on both the place of,
and the individuals subject to, justice. With its
multi-disciplinary perspective, the study serves as a platform on
which to debate the relationships between the ceremonial,
legalistic, administrative and penal aspects of justice, and the
spaces that constitute their settings. The structure of the book
develops from the particular to the universal, from local
situations to the larger city, and thereby examines the role that
architecture and urban space play in the deliberations of justice.
At the same time, contributors to the volume remind us of the
potential impact the built environment can have in undermining the
proper juridical processes of a socio-political system. Hence, the
book provides both wise counsel and warnings of the role of
public/civic space in affirming our sense of a just or unjust
society.
