THE HIDDEN INFRASTRUCTURE OF ISRAEL’S OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE, FROM THE FOUNDING DIRECTOR OF FORENSIC ARCHITECTURE

How does Israel extend its control over Palestinian lands? From the tunnels of Gaza to the militarized airspace of the Occupied Territories, Eyal Weizman unravels the mechanisms of control and how they have transformed Gaza and the West Bank into a war zone. This is essential reading for understanding how architecture and infrastructure are used as lethal weapons in the formation of Israel.

In this new edition, Weizman explains how the events following the invasion of Gaza in October 2023 bear witness to the continuing policies of oppression. He details how this book became a foundational text for Forensic Architecture.

Reviews

  • The most astonishing book on architecture that I have read in years.

    Edwin HeathcoteFinancial Times
  • A masterpiece of political analysis.

    James RonThe Nation
  • Eyal Weizman has taken Edward Said’s thesis to a new level, generating extraordinary, and at times surreally uncomfortable, conclusions...Weizman’s book is of salutary interest.
