What World War I
meant for architecture and urbanism writ large

More than one hundred
years after the conclusion of the First World War, the edited collection States
of Emergency. Architecture, Urbanism, and the First World War reassesses
what that cataclysmic global conflict meant for architecture and urbanism from
a human, social, economic, and cultural perspective. Chapters probe how
underdevelopment and economic collapse manifested spatially, how military
technologies were repurposed by civilians, and how cultures of education, care,
and memory emerged from battle. The collection places an emphasis on the
various states of emergency as experienced by combatants and civilians across
five continents—from refugee camps to military installations, villages to
capital cities—thus uncovering the role architecture played in mitigating and
exacerbating the everyday tragedy of war.
