Eyal Weizman

Eyal Weizman (born 1970 in Haifa) is an Israeli intellectual and architect. Involved in political theory through the case of Palestine, Weizman's most known theoretical work describes the acts of the Israeli army as founded upon the post-structuralist French philosophers and a reading of them. He also conducted research on behalf of B’tselem on the "planning aspects of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank".[1]

He teaches at Goldsmith's college and the Architectural Association in London, where he lives and has created Goldsmith's, a think tank devoted into reinterpretations of political theory's existing bibliography of the past.

Weizman is the author of the book Hollow Land: Israel's Architecture of Occupation,[2] which has been translated into German, French, and Italian,[3] and reviewed by The London Review of Books.[4] He is co-author of À travers les murs: l'architecture de la nouvelle guerre urbaine.[5] On a different topic, he has published Yellow Rhythms: A Roundabout for London.[6]

He has also published many articles on Israeli geography and architecture[7][8][9][10][11][12] and chapters in collected works.[13][14][15] He facilitated a workshop session at Holcim Forum 2007, organised by the Holcim Foundation, on the topic of temporary urbanism.[16]
