요약This dissertation examines the relationship between architecture and surveillance in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) by uncovering the largely overlooked architectural history of its Ministry of State Security-commonly known as the Stasi. It specifically asks: by what means did state surveillance infuse the East German built environment and-in turn-by what means did architectural spaces and processes affect state surveillance and state power?Exploring the Stasi's three main architectural roles, the dissertation looks beyond representational techniques of governance and studies scientifically justified surveillance and policing measures as they configured the production and use of the East German built environment. The state security apparatus acted as-what I term-a building agent, surveilling the GDR's industrial labor force and monitoring the productivity and efficiency of the centrally regulated building economy. The ministry was a building developer, which produced prefabricated building technologies and managed construction firms to realize numerous structures for its employees and East German functionaries. The Stasi was also a building user that analyzed and reproduced the built environment across media to improve secret policing. As a result, I argue that the Stasi was an important architectural producer, and that architecture and surveillance were mutually articulated within the Stasi's networks of knowledge and power between 1961 and 1989.To interrogate this mutual articulation, I include surveillance agents among the constellation of architects, engineers, administrators, and policy makers partaking in the production of the East German built environment. I treat surveillance as information collection and a spatial practice, requiring the analysis, reproduction, and reconfiguration of the built environment according to surveillance objectives. And lastly, I examine architectural knowledge obtained through and produced for surveillance, which had ramifications for the organization and use of the East German built environment.The dissertation intervenes into the historiography of the Stasi and the GDR by investigating architecture not just as the means and site but also the object and subject of state surveillance and state power. While the Stasi acted as a control mechanism overseeing the Soviet-socialist building economy, it grew knowledgeable and critical of the roadmaps devised by the GDR's center of power. The ministry tried to implement its insights in its building industry. Yet, constrained by ideological pressures and economic optimization, efforts to advance building technology and the scientific management of design and construction conflicted with a burgeoning surveillance bureaucracy, which paradoxically confronted with the Stasi's resultant inability to establish supervisory capacities through visual-spatial means. The Stasi's involvement in building production, especially in the 1973 Housing Program, gave it an intimate knowledge of the East German built environment, nonetheless. The Stasi diligently registered and networked architectural spaces according to surveillance objectives, but the replicability of typified structures did not translate into the replicability of policing methods.Examining these recursive yet incompatible chains of operations between architecture and surveillance in the GDR, the dissertation shows how the Stasi rendered itself indispensable but also became increasingly dysfunctional over time-and what role architecture played in both. This situates the dissertation as an investigation into the architectural pre-history of contemporary totalitarian police states across Europe, and beyond. The dissertation ultimately advances the study of architecture and politics, demonstrating that mobilizing architecture for repression and control produced a built environment that challenged precisely those forces, confounding political operatives who enlisted it for political ends.
