''War Zones'' examines the people, landscapes, and built environments that are subject to both the civil and military aims and control of armed conflicts today.

Summary:
This publication offers a selection of contributions that originally appeared in the journal "archithese," accompanied by critical essays by contemporary authors. Themes range from historicism, realism, urbanism, and user-oriented approaches, to interest in informal and spontaneous building.

The contributors include Irina Davidovici, Samia Henni, Torsten Lange, and others, representing positions that are exemplary of the pluralist approach and thematic openness characteristic of the journal in its founding phase.
