Políticas del espacio: arquitectura, género y control social. José Miguel G. Cortés. Barcelona: Institut d’Arquitectura Avançada de Catalunya, 2006. 207 pages with black-and-white illustrations.

Contemporary cities increasingly give rise to attitudes and approaches that serve to control and organise bodily desires. The complex relationships between buildings and bodies – as well as environments and relationships – have destabilised traditional architecture. This book is a contribution to the cultural debates that question the configuration of cities and the hegemony of urban space.
