Arquitectura, poder, vigilancia, crisis ambiental, guerraResumen
Desde sus inicios, la arquitectura ha funcionado no solo como un medio para proveer refugio, sino también como una manifestación significativa del poder. Partiendo de las definiciones tanto de arquitectura como de poder, este artículo traza una posible genealogía de su relación a lo largo de cuatro periodos históricos distintos: la Antigüedad, el Renacimiento, la Ilustración y la época moderna y contemporánea. El análisis sitúa a la arquitectura como un medio de control, vigilancia y organización social y muestra cómo las estructuras de poder se encuentran incrustadas en las formas y prácticas arquitectónicas. El estudio concluye abordando dos desafíos clave del poder en la arquitectura: la crisis ambiental y la guerra.
