ABSTRACT

Mostly when we think about the intersection of architecture and justice we think of the connections between buildings, like courts, prisons, jails, and the ideas, ideologies, and policies that shape both the scale and aspirations of these buildings.1 Here I want to propose a dierent kind of connection. Just as buildings belong to a ‘built environment’,2 and policies emerge not directly from interest groups but out of broader ‘political rationalities’,3 we can learn something by reecting on how these inuence each other.
