Space is much more important in _Discipline and Punish_! See the
analysis of the Panopticon, prisons, schools, etc.. There is also some
insights in _Birth of the Clinic_.
There is three other textes where Foucault copes directly with space,
and indirectly with architecture:
FOUCAULT, Michel. 1994. "Espace, savoir et pouvoir". In _Dits et
=E9crits_. Vol. 4. Paris: Gallimard, pp.270-85 [In English: DREYFUS,
Hubert and Paul RABINOW, Eds. 1984. _The Foucault Reader_.
Harmondsworth: Penguin].
=8B=8B=8B. 1994. "Questions =E0 Michel Foucault sur la g=E9ographie" In _Di=
ts et
=E9crits_. Vol. 3. Paris: Gallimard, pp.28-40 [Translated in English?]
=8B=8B=8B. 1994. "Des espaces autres". In _Dits et =E9crits_. Vol. 4. Paris=

Gallimard, pp.752-62. [There is a translation, but I don't know where]
