"Biopolitics and the Emergence of Modern Architecture concerns the dissolution of the classical paradigm of architecture as imitative form in the context of the French Enlightenment and the emergence of a new logic of architecture based on a biopolitical process of subject formation. Following the publication of the English translation of Michel Foucault's The Birth of Biopolitics, Sven-Olov Wallenstein's book is the first to relate the biopolitical concept specifically to architecture. It concludes with a pictorial essay on the development of a building type that epitomizes this new architectural logic - the modern hospital."--Jacket.
