Part 1: Catalogue and Lexicon


Based on both desk research and fieldwork survey, we selected, documented, and classified a set of reference projects according to five categories: the idealization of system, the failure of a system, the institutions, the concrete objects, and the public opinion. From these specific case studies, the aim is to identify general design principles with relevance to power, and explore potential types and scopes of associated architectural projects.
