Rebel Architecture - The Architecture of Violence

In the 25-minute episode Weizman shows the viewer the various means of urban warfare: how walls and fences define the occupied zones; how stone walls convey a sense of historical Jerusalem; how red tile roofs help define "friend or foe" from the air; how the checkpoints work; how the military moves through holes they make in the walls of houses in Palestinian villages; and how drones surveil and strike parts of the Gaza Strip. In essence the episode parallels Weizman's excellent book Hollow City, and both show clearly how he "uses architecture as a way to both interpret, protest, and resist."
