Genealogies of powerKurir-Borovčić, Mateja (Avtor) architecturepowerwarenvironmental crisissurveillanceSince its beginnings, architecture has served not only as a means of providing shelter but also as a significant manifestation of power. Starting with definitions of both architecture and power, this paper traces a potential gene-alogy of their relationship across four distinct historical periods: Antiquity, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the modern era.
