Collection: Unmanned, Architecture and Security Series.

Camps, prisons and compounds; airports and embassies; faraday shields, drone geographies or domestic retreats. What is architecture’s role in the construction of contemporary security apparatus?

Unmanned is a research project and a publication series co-edited by Malkit Shoshan (FAST) Ethel Baraona (dpr-barcelona) and Marina Otero (Director of Research at Het Nieuwe Instituut), which addresses the possibilities and impact of the security structures and technologies on the built environment. What are the spatial and ethical implications of warfare technology? How can emerging technologies be leveraged to offer alternatives to the spatial assemblage of contemporary power?
