dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Architecture, as a manifestation of human society, is continuously shaped by societal demands, technological advancements, and shifts in perception. It serves as a platform for creative expression and a resource for the exertion of power, solidifying social norms and spatial regulation of citizenship. Despite its significance in shaping political landscapes, there is a tendency to overlook the political implications within spatial dimensions. This thesis explores the intricate relationship between architecture and politics, shedding light on how architectural structures carry inherent political significance and impact. It delves into the presence of politics within spatial dimensions, challenging the perception of space as innocent or devoid of political implications. Through case studies, the thesis analyzes the interplay between politics and design, examining how architecture reflects and influences prevailing political conditions. The research methodology adopts a realist perspective, exploring the political nature of design and urban planning without favoring any privileged standpoint. Three case studies are examined to understand the diverse interpretations and approaches engendered by architectural projects within the political sphere. Keywords: Architecture, politics, societal demands, spatial regulation, power dynamics, political implications, realist perspective, case studies, urban planningen
