WELCOME TO THE MACHINE
"In organizing 'cells', 'places' and 'ranks', the diciplines create complex spaces that are at once architectural, functional and hierarchical. It is spaces that provide fixed positions and permit circulation; they carve out individual segments and establish operatonal links; they mark places and and indicate values; they guarantee the obedience of individuals, but also a better economy of time and gesture."
T. Hagerstrand 'Space, Time and Human Conditions'
"Previously, the art of building corresponded to the need to make power, divinity and might manifest. The palace and the church were the great architectural forms, along with the stronghold. Architecture manifest might, the Sovereign, God....it becomes a question of using the disposition of space for economico-political ends."
M.Foucault 'Power/Knowledge'
