Spatial Violence
This book poses spatial violence as a constitutive dimension of architecture and its epistemologies, as well as a method for theoretical and historical inquiry intrinsic to architecture; and thereby offers an alternative to predominant readings of spatial violence as a topic, event, fact, or other empirical form that may be illustrated by architecture.Exploring histories of and through architecture at sites across the globe, the chapters in the book blur the purportedly distinctive borders between war and peace, framing violence as a form of social, political, and economic order rather than its exceptional interruption.Regarding space and violence as co-constitutive, the book’s collected essays critique modernization and capitalist accumulation as naturalized modes for the extraction of violence from everyday life.Focusing on the mediation of violence through architectural registers of construction, destruction, design, use, representation, theory, and history, the book suggests that violence is not only something inflicted upon architecture, but also something that architecture inflicts.In keeping with Walter Benjamin’s formulation that there is no document of civilization that is not also a document of barbarism, the book offers "spatial violence" as another name for "architecture" itself.This book was previously published as a special issue of Architectural Theory Review.

Can missing spatial vision be compensated for by spatial imagination?
While spatial imagination can help individuals navigate and understand their surroundings to some extent, it may not fully compensate for missing spatial vision. Spatial imagination relies on mental imagery and memory, which may not always accurately represent the physical environment. Missing spatial vision can impact an individual's ability to perceive depth, distance, and obstacles in their surroundings, which may not be fully compensated for by imagination alone. However, individuals can develop strategies and adaptive skills to enhance their spatial awareness and compensate for their visual impairment to some degree.

What is the difference between spatial planning and spatial planning?
Spatial planning and urban planning are closely related but have different focuses. Spatial planning is a broader concept that encompasses the organization and management of land use and resources at a regional, national, or even global scale. It involves the strategic allocation of land for various purposes such as housing, transportation, agriculture, and conservation. On the other hand, urban planning specifically deals with the development and organization of urban areas, including the design of infrastructure, public spaces, and buildings within cities and towns. While spatial planning considers a larger geographical area, urban planning is more focused on the specific needs and challenges of urban environments.

What effect does the spatial representation or spatial arrangement have?
The spatial representation or spatial arrangement of objects can have a significant impact on how we perceive and interact with our environment. It can influence our sense of orientation, navigation, and wayfinding, as well as our understanding of the relationships between objects and spaces. Additionally, spatial arrangement can affect the flow of movement and the distribution of resources within a given space. Overall, the spatial representation or arrangement plays a crucial role in shaping our experiences and interactions within physical and virtual environments.

What is spatial vision?
Spatial vision refers to the ability of the visual system to perceive and interpret the spatial relationships between objects in the environment. It allows us to understand the size, shape, distance, and location of objects in our surroundings. Spatial vision is essential for tasks such as navigating through space, interacting with objects, and judging depth and perspective. It is a complex process that involves the integration of visual information from both eyes to create a coherent representation of the three-dimensional world.

Seeking Spatial Justice
In 1996, the Los Angeles Bus Riders Union, a grassroots advocacy organization, won a historic legal victory against the city’s Metropolitan Transit Authority.The resulting consent decree forced the MTA for a period of ten years to essentially reorient the mass transit system to better serve the city’s poorest residents.A stunning reversal of conventional governance and planning in urban America, which almost always favors wealthier residents, this decision is also, for renowned urban theorist Edward W.Soja, a concrete example of spatial justice in action.In Seeking Spatial Justice, Soja argues that justice has a geography and that the equitable distribution of resources, services, and access is a basic human right.Building on current concerns in critical geography and the new spatial consciousness, Soja interweaves theory and practice, offering new ways of understanding and changing the unjust geographies in which we live.After tracing the evolution of spatial justice and the closely related notion of the right to the city in the influential work of Henri Lefebvre, David Harvey, and others, he demonstrates how these ideas are now being applied through a series of case studies in Los Angeles, the city at the forefront of this movement.Soja focuses on such innovative labor–community coalitions as Justice for Janitors, the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy, and the Right to the City Alliance; on struggles for rent control and environmental justice; and on the role that faculty and students in the UCLA Department of Urban Planning have played in both developing the theory of spatial justice and putting it into practice.Effectively locating spatial justice as a theoretical concept, a mode of empirical analysis, and a strategy for social and political action, this book makes a significant contribution to the contemporary debates about justice, space, and the city.

Modelling Spatial and Spatial-Temporal Data : A Bayesian Approach
Modelling Spatial and Spatial-Temporal Data: A Bayesian Approach is aimed at statisticians and quantitative social, economic and public health students and researchers who work with small-area spatial and spatial-temporal data.It assumes a grounding in statistical theory up to the standard linear regression model.The book compares both hierarchical and spatial econometric modelling, providing both a reference and a teaching text with exercises in each chapter.The book provides a fully Bayesian, self-contained, treatment of the underlying statistical theory, with chapters dedicated to substantive applications.The book includes WinBUGS code and R code and all datasets are available online. Part I covers fundamental issues arising when modelling spatial and spatial-temporal data.Part II focuses on modelling cross-sectional spatial data and begins by describing exploratory methods that help guide the modelling process.There are then two theoretical chapters on Bayesian models and a chapter of applications.Two chapters follow on spatial econometric modelling, one describing different models, the other substantive applications.Part III discusses modelling spatial-temporal data, first introducing models for time series data.Exploratory methods for detecting different types of space-time interaction are presented, followed by two chapters on the theory of space-time separable (without space-time interaction) and inseparable (with space-time interaction) models.An applications chapter includes: the evaluation of a policy intervention; analysing the temporal dynamics of crime hotspots; chronic disease surveillance; and testing for evidence of spatial spillovers in the spread of an infectious disease.A final chapter suggests some future directions and challenges. Robert Haining is Emeritus Professor in Human Geography, University of Cambridge, England.He is the author of Spatial Data Analysis in the Social and Environmental Sciences (1990) and Spatial Data Analysis: Theory and Practice (2003).He is a Fellow of the RGS-IBG and of the Academy of Social Sciences.

Designing Spatial Culture
Designing Spatial Culture investigates a powerful experiential dialogue formed between the habitation of space and a diversified cultural realm.This creative proposition binds and positions human activity and experience framing its histories, currency and future.Whilst the book distinguishes between the conditions of the existing urban/ architecture/ interior canon, it embraces a new agency of space, showcasing the encounters, assemblies and designs that shape human behaviours and the cultural forms of the built environment. Using authoritative case studies, the book examines many locations and spaces, ranging from new urban landscapes, historical domestic spaces and contemporary architecture.It embraces the most lavish and flamboyant to the most simplistic and minimal, establishing a connected cultural narrative.The book shifts the focus in the spatial realm from an object-based experience (where space is filled with things) to a more complete immersive experience (combining physical and digital).A key part of this exploration is the relationship between the architecture and the interior which is often the most predominant spatial experience and fundamental to the understanding spatial experience and existing cultures.Without the architectural enclosure, the interior would lose its site context and structure for its existence.Without an interior, architecture would not fully develop an engaging spatial experience for the user.The book rationalises this through extended use of a spatial probe which documents and summarises an evidence-based research project capturing spatial culture data from a predominantly domestic setting.The book is essential reading for students and researchers in architecture, interior design and urban design.

What is spatial music?
Spatial music is a type of music composition and performance that takes into consideration the physical space in which it is being presented. It involves the manipulation of sound in three-dimensional space, often using multiple speakers or surround sound systems to create an immersive listening experience. Spatial music can involve the movement of sound sources, the placement of speakers throughout a performance space, and the use of technology to control the spatial distribution of sound. This approach allows for a more dynamic and interactive relationship between the music and the listener, as the spatial elements can enhance the emotional impact and create a sense of envelopment.
