Weizman wins Stirling Lecture Competition

Architect Eyal Weizman has been selected as the winner of the 2006–07 James Stirling Memorial Lectures on the City Competition for his proposal Destruction by Design: Military Strategy as Urban Planning. (Posted on Architect.com).

According to the Centre Canadien d'Architecture in Montreal, "Weizman’s project builds upon an impressive body of research and practice, which initially focused on the relationship between the theory and practice of warfare in the cities and settlement camps of Palestine, where the Israeli military has retooled itself to deal with guerrilla combat in dense urban situations. Based on extensive interviews with military commanders and strategists, as well as soldiers, guerrilla fighters, and civilians on both sides of this protracted conflict, Weizman's recent work analyzed the military's use of critical theory as an analogue to its use (and misuse) in architecture and urbanism."

Weizman is director of the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths College (University of London). He is interviewed by Stephen Zacks in Else/Where:Mapping..
