Real Crime

Forum Stadtpark, Graz

Architecture & Crime

Crime does not pay! Wrongly, writes Karl Marx, crime pays off certainly? not always for the criminal or his victim, probably, however, for the society. According to Marx the criminal produces not only the crime, but also all measures been directed against the crime. He produces the police, the criminal law, the criminal justice and the prison, but as well all forms of criminal coverage: whether in the "fine arts", in literature and theatre, in scientific publications or in mass media. The fear evoked by real or only imagined crime is reflected in innumerable preventive constructional, architectural and town planning measures: Fortification against the enemies outwardly, control architectures against the enemies from inside.

URBAN CONTROL #1
Belfast from here
The civil war-like siege of Northern Ireland stands for an aggressive model of urban control ? fixed in stone. The lines of conflicts in Belfast are marked quite clearly. There are obviously divided residential areas - mostly of the working class or, rather, of the unemployed class - as well as mixed terrain (shopping city centre, entertainment district, university quarter, residential areas). In addition office complexes are sealed off by fences and security guards just opposite the shipyard which had built the Titanic and now are close to bankruptcy.
The separatism in Northern Ireland, manifested into stone, is a state architecture whose correspondences seem >here< much more unrecognizable. This formulates itself in establishing legal borders, sociopolitical bulwarks and daily phantasmas of normality.
