Military design theory: A civilian concern

The military uses architectural related theory and philosophy as a new academic language which helps them reconceptualize spaces in contemporary urban conflict zones. The IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) is mostly credited with starting this revolution in military strategic pedagogy, focusing on post modern theorists, but it has spread since the early 2000s. The new design oriented, architectural theory driven approach to war started to be adopted in a couple western Nations after Israel. Now it seems military design has spread throughout the world's military institutions. This emergence of a new design thinking amongst the militaries of the world coincides with the shift from the cold war into the global war on terror and in increase of nonlinear complexities. In some ways military aggression is seen as insurmountable without violence or diplomacy. However a citizen's architectural response to the military could be able to make their neighborhood more resilient to such easy reconceptualization. / 0 / SPK / specialcollections@tulane.edu
