A Civilian Occupation: "The Politics of Israeli Architecture"
In this series of articles and photo-essays, Weizman paints the extraordinary, three-dimensional battle over the West Bank: from settlements to sewage, archaeology to Apaches. Weizman introduces the experience of territory in the West Bank, which explodes simple political boundaries and "crashes three-dimensional space into six dimensions ãthree Jewish and three Arab".
