Foucault's article, Of other Spaces, can be found in Neil Leach's Rethinking
Architecture. Also, is an extract from Panopticism, for more on power
relations and space. And the final part of Foucault in the book is an
interview conducted with Paul Rabinow on Space, Knowledge and Power. Of
course, this is about space in terms of architecture which is a different
meaning of space than virtual space or the space reflected in a mirror
(which, by the way, he dies discuss in Of Other Spaces). I'm sorry if I
misled you with my narrow focus on the heterotopia. Neither archeology nor
geography are among my areas of interest, particularly, except for pieces I
come across in real life (or in virtual internet space).

Architecture. Also, is an extract from Panopticism, for more on power
relations and space. And the final part of Foucault in the book is an
