Reviews
"Its assemblage of sources unique to Davidson’s perspective and its original articulation of the concept of occupancy makes The Hotel: Occupied Space a topical study that, while broad in scope, is refreshingly clear and accessible to anyone interested in our evolving relationship with the built environment in the age of global conduct. "
- Matthew D’Ambrosio Griffith, Harvard University
"Through his provocative series of close readings, Davidson uses the hotel form as a way to register the significance of incursions of state power into the contractually arranged relationship to space that defines the modern hotel."
