Editorial excerpt from Issue 00:



SCAPEGOAT is a new journal of architecture, landscape and political
economy. It examines the relationship between capitalism and the built
environment, confronting the coercive and violent organization of space,
the exploitation of labour and resources, and the unequal distribution
of environmental risks and benefits. Issue 00 focuses on Property,
because it is the literal foundation for all spatial design practices.
Architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design each begin with a
space that is already drawn, organized, and formed by the concrete
abstraction of the property lines. From our perspective, property stands
as the most fundamental, yet underestimated, point of intersection
between architecture, landscape architecture, and political economy.
What is a “site” except a piece of property? What are architecture and
landscape architecture but subtle and consistent attempts to express
determined property relations as open aesthetic possibilities? How can
these practices facilitate other forms of relation?
