ABSTRACT
The realm of military design, architecture, and planning sits beyond the reach of the architectural profession, and yet it has a profound effect on the lives of millions of people around the world. Architect and researcher Malkit Shoshan discusses her ongoing work with the Dutch military and the United Nations (UN) to apply new ways of thinking to the compounds, camps, logistics hubs, headquarters, and checkpoints which comprise this oft-overlooked architecture of peacekeeping. The result is a new mode of practice, sitting at the intersection of architecture, international relations, policy, and activism.
