Details

Through eye-catching design or bureaucratic functionality, buildings make international law tangible for its practitioners, audiences and constituencies. This compelling book furthers our understanding of the impact of architecture on the field of international law with imagination and style.

Chapters engage with questions surrounding the relationship between architecture and identity construction, public reception, (de)colonial ordering, affect and spatial politics. Offering a range of perspectives on the role of architecture in shaping international law, the impressive group of contributors set out a new transdisciplinary enquiry into law, space, and aesthetics. The book highlights how the material, visual, and spatial realms influence international law’s norms, values, histories, as well as our individual experiences and expectations of the law.

Illustrated by a rich array of images of signature international spaces, International Law and Architecture is a timely and essential resource for students of public international law, politics, and architecture. The book will also engage readers interested in the intersections of geography, urban studies, and legal practice.
