Produktbeschreibung
After the 2015 terrorist attacks in the metropolitan region of Paris, both the governmental counterterrorist plan «Vigipirate» and the state of emergency became key tools to control the city and its citizens. By giving extra power to the national executive branch, mobilizing a multitude of security and military actors, and strengthening preventive regulations, these counterterrorist measures have physically impacted the public spaces of the French capital. Through its investigative account of a commercial centre, a transportation hub, and a public square, this work contributes to clarifying the process of militarization and oversecuritization of the contemporary metropolis.
Autorenporträt
After graduating as an architect and urban planner from São Paulo University, Alexandre Gaiser Fernandes (_1986) worked three years with Helena Ayoub Silva & Associated Architects, developing his public building design skills. Interested in focusing on the urban scale, he enrolled in the Master of Science in Urban Design course at the HafenCity University, Hamburg, in 2014. Throughout various academic and professional experiences in Europe (Sheffield and Paris), Gaiser Fernandes researched the interactions between alternative urban spaces and ecological issues. Returning to Hamburg in 2017 to complete his masters degree, he developed his dissertation on the notions of power and security applied to public spaces, questioning as an urban planner the spatial materializations of control and freedom. Today, Gaiser Fernandes works in urban planning and public space design in Paris.
