I finish this book with a vocabulary summarising some of the main concepts of my discussions. Together, I hope that they could form a rudimentary tool box for a territorial analysis of architecture and the built environment. The vocabulary is a summary of the concepts proposed and tried out through this book, here presented in order of appearance:
TERRITORIAL PRODUCTION: A territory is a spatial delimited and effective control (an actant), and it is always produced. Territories are produces by means of for example, strategies, tactics, appropriations and associations
TERRITORIAL STRATEGY: Territorial strategies are planned at a distance in time and/or space from the territory produced. Territorial strategy is an intentional attempt to mark or delimit a territory, that is the territorial control is directed explicitly towards the ordering of a certain area.
TERRITORIAL TACTICS: Territorial tactics involve spatial claims made in the midst of a situation and as part of an ongoing sequence (in daily life). Territorial tactics thus often refer to a personal relationship between the territory and the person or group that mark it as theirs.
Territorial tactics represent an intentional attempt to mark or delimit a territory. that is, the territorial control is directed explicitly towards the ordering of a certain area.
TERRITORIAL APPROPRIATION: Territorial appropriation produces territories through a repetitive and consistent use of an area by a certain person or group who, at least to some extent, seem to perceive this area as their own. Territorial appropriation represents territorial productions that are not planned or intentionally established, but where the territory produced is a consequence of established and

regular practices. These practices may be the effects of rational or planned decisions but they are not made with the explicit intent of producing a territory.
TERRITORIAL ASSOCIATION: Territorial association represents the claiming of an identifiable area for a certain function, and as such characterised by certain conventions and regularities. The territory does not necessarily have to be considered by any person or group as
‘their own’ - but are nevertheless associated to by others as pertaining to a certain function or category of users. Territorial association thus represents territorial productions that are not planned or intentionally established, but where the territory produced is a consequence of established and regular practices. These practices may be the effects of rational or planned decisions but they are not made with the explicit intent of producing a territory.
TERRITORIAL COMPLExITY: The territorial complexity of a place is constituted by a large number of territorial productions (within each form of territorial production as well as taken together), by a large number of overlapping territorial productions following different rhythms and schedules, and by a non-hierarchic relationship between different territorial productions.
TERRITORIAL STABILISATIONS: Territorial stabilisation is a way of describing territorial power. There are a number of different forms of territorial stabilisation (territorial sorts, frameworks, networks and bodies are used in this book).
TERRITORIAL SORT: A territory can be produced by way of association, where the proper usage is induced by the association of one place with another of the same ‘sort’. For example, one might recognise a place as a ‘public library’, and therefore behave accordingly.
Territorial sort is a way of territorial stabilisation working within a fluid topology (Law 2002). The actants of the territorial sort shares a family resemblance with actants of another example of the same territorial sort. Territorial sort also describes a kind of spatial involute associated with a certain way of acting. Territorial sorts are central to architecture in general, where for example, the desired functions of a certain building might be described in brief by the listing of territorial sorts, for example, a dining room, a living room, a kitchen, broom closet, etc.
TERRITORIAL NETWORK: A way of dealing with the territorial power of materiality is to see it as part of a network topology or as assemblages of humans and non-humans. A territory might be stabilised through the enlistment of more and more actants, such as rules, artefacts, etc. that work together in networks in order to enable certain regularities.
postscript: a short vocabulary 139
TERRITORIAL FRAMEWORK: The territorial stabilisation of framing depends on a discontinuity between the territory and the stabilizing frame. The territory is supported by actants outside and made other to the territory, which means that although some actants sustaining the territory as a network are lost, it might remain effective to some extent as long as the frame is still there to support it. Territorial frameworks can thus, to some extent, be described through the logic of figure and background: the frame sets the figure; the territory also takes some of its qualities from the background other than its figure.
TERRITORIAL BODIES: Material things might create recurrent bodily effects (not outside networks, or in all thinkable networks, but at least in several different networks). Some relations between material form and body thus remain more stable than others, and could thus better be described through a more traditional Euclidean topology, dealing with distances, heights, entrances, angle of slopes, textures, etc., than by their role in a certain network (Law 2002). The concept of territorial bodies bears similarities to the concept of terrain as developed by Steinbock (1995) and Nilsson (2010), where the terrain is produced as relation between a certain bodily (senso-motoric) culture or set of actions and the material characteristics of the environment that these actions count on
SYNCHRONISATION: Synchronisation is here taken to be a strategy of assembling, framing and coordinating different flows and rhythms in time. It must thus be understood as a form of con-temporality (as it is used in for example, time-geography) and not as an a-temporality (or indeed a-spatiality) as the structuralist use of synchrony/diachrony sometimes seem to imply.
SYNCHORISATION: Synchorisation is a concept that often is used together with synchronisation (for example in time-geography) Synchorisation is used to describe a con-spatiality, that is how different events are produced in the same space.
TERRITORIAL BOx: The territorial box represents a building or environment with a uniform territorial skin, and an emptiable/refillable interior, established in order to accommodate for a general territorial order. This calls for a quite arbitrary relationship between the form and its content or function
RHYTHM BOx: A building or environment can often acts as a kind of black shutting out rhythms in order to get full control over the ones produced inside. Coupled with different kinds of territorial props (including sounds, smells, and so on) one could talk of a kind of rhythm box, where rhythms can be induced or constructed independent of a world outside of the territory.

SCALE TRANSFER NODES: A scale transfer node is here used to denote a place where different kinds of movements (local, urban, regional, national, international), that is, movements of different spatial scales, come together and a change of worlds/trajectories/
transportation become possible.
TERRITORIAL SINGULARISATION: The trajectory from a certain territorial sort, type or category towards a new and unique identity may be called singularisation. The process of territorial singularisation means that the territory becomes less and less interchangeable and redundant.
TERRITORIAL DESINGULARISATION: A process of territorial singularisation is often followed by a territorial desingularisation.
Desingularisation means that the singularised territory is increasingly reproduced in one form or another.
INTERSTITIALITY: Interstitial production is dependent on, and can even be defined in terms of, how they relate to one or more stronger adjacent or overlapping territorial productions. This indicates a double identity of being (a) and also being (b). It also implies a sequential transformation from (a) and (b) and then on to something else, (c). Interstitiality can be described as spatial production through territorial transformation. Interstitial production can takes advantage of weak or heterogeneous territorial programmes in-between stronger ones. They can, however also ‘carve’ out space within strong territorial strategies, for example, by means of territorial association, thus creating uncertainties and new rules that defy existing classifications.
MATERIAL RESPONISIVITY: Is concept parallel to Johan Asplund’s social responsivity, borrowed from Wikström (2009) and Nilsson (2010). It is used to discuss the degree and ways in which the material environment responds in different kinds of interactions with everyday users, becoming enlisted in different programmes.
SERIAL COLLECTIVES: Serial collective is a hybrid concept adapted from Sartre (1976) and Latour (2005c), indicating the non-group quality of a series (as the people of a queue) and the heterogeneity of the collective in terms of gathering both humans and non-humans (Latour 2005a). The public is defined by the fact that it is not groups, but issues that spark the public, that is, issues affecting (and mobilising) a series of people, things spaces, etc. that in the end will need some sort of a territory.
