Why Architecture
This paper is the introduction to the Space and Culture special issue “Inside inside,” which examines the persistent use of architecture as punishment. It provides an overview of the use of architecture as punishment with specific reference to Anglo-American prison architecture. It additionally examines developments occurring in architecture and the architectural profession contemporary with the emergence of the modern prison and acknowledges the…
In Suspension
Glass floors require the trading of architectural intuition for faith in the invisible as structural. They heighten the awareness of standing above something; the refraction of glass, conveying a jewel-like preciousness; its reflections, momentary glimpses of solidity. In many in situ archaeological sites, glass floors reveal the gaps between body, weight, and archaeological feature; an awareness of the destructive power of gravity threatening th…
Incidental heritage
Within the context of ‘negative’ and ‘intangible heritage,’ this paper explores Burström and Gelderblom’s proposition of ‘difficult heritage,’ with respect to Bückeberg, the site of the Third Reich Harvest Festival, as a site where collective moments of cultural shame occur. The paper then considers homelessness within this theoretical framework to ask whether those aspects of our inherited and contemporary culture, which are difficult and cultur…
Re-thinking threats to architectural heritage
This paper proposes the need for heritage strategies and policies to engage with the psychological literature on risk perception because current heritage processes exclude many groups of people due to the psychological processes that are favoured in current procedures. Risk perception research has affected mitigation strategies in the realms of natural disaster planning (for example, earthquake preparedness) and, more recently, climate change mit…
Toward a Definition of Interiority
This article examines theoretical aspects that contribute to a definition of interiority. The author argues that interiority is not an absolute condition that depends on a restrictive architectural definition
Knowing Truth
In this paper I examine Peirce's epistemological and ontological theories and indicate their relevance to educational practice. I argue that Peirces conception of Firsts, Seconds and Thirds entails a fundamental ontological realism. I further argue that Peirce does have a theory of truth, that it is a particular non‐traditional 'correspondence' theory, consistent with, and implicit in, an over‐arching position of pragmatic realism. Peirce's epist…
Before the Rain
According to Engberg, “Humidity is that in-between state. It is the storm pending. The bulging part of weather, all moist and dense, and hanging in a kind of limbo state of being. Like a large droplet of water, it suspends, tremulous in the moment before bursting or evaporating off.” This article explores the interior architecture of humidity. In particular, it draws from an experience of humidity in Darwin, Australia, in early October 2001 befor…
Camouflage
This article examines the World War II gun emplacements at Castor Bay, Auckland, New Zealand, as a site of camouflage. It explores the architectural mechanisms and development of camouflage and the implications of these for interior upholstery and coverings
