Power Materialized in Space
Monte Carlo is much more than a district of the Principality; it is a stage where power materializes in urban space. Architecture is not the result of luxury, but rather a social construct that organizes hierarchies, regulates traffic and social dynamics, and delimits spaces of belonging where one sees and is seen. Monte Carlo is built on monumental buildings, infrastructure, and visible and invisible barriers; the territory includes and, at the same time, excludes as part of its identity. The analysis of architecture allows the researcher to understand in depth how luxury becomes a tool for legitimizing contemporary social differences.
