Reviews
'While, in view of their economic and social impact, retail spaces represent an important field for social studies, and while the book’s theoretical frame is constructed to best capture the nuances and critical developments of such spaces, it is important to remark, in closing, that Kärrholm’s architectural territorology - the modes of territorial production and stabilisation, the analysis of material topologies, and the notion of territorial complexity as interstitiality - could be fruitfully applied beyond the case of retail. Because of the wealth of ideas and the clarity of discussion, his noteworthy contribution should be of interest to all those studying contemporary urban spaces.' Metropolitics 'While the themes of this book may be familiar to architectural theorists focusing on urban space, it nonetheless offers social scientists an important and sophisticated elucidation of retail’s effect on the public domain in ways that in turn shape everyday life. It also puts forth a new way of thinking about the role of architecture in social life and a new vocabulary for ongoing discussion'. Urban Studies
