Abstract

The article aims at bringing to fore the change in the methods used for exercising power in the contemporary postcolonial period as represented by the built environment of the educational institutions of Punjab, namely; Forman Christian College, Lahore Grammar School, and Danish School Chistian. The research article employs content analysis of the images of the aforementioned buildings to expand the scope of the functional relationship between power and architecture to include soft and disciplinary power. That help today’s powerful states and school authorities to exercise power through indirect and subtler means. Unlike the old colonial approach, the soft power architecture of the dominant country emphasizes highlighting the vernacular architecture of the subservient country rather than suppressing it. Whereas, disciplinary power through architectural determinism creates opportunities for behavioral reforms of its occupants through the design of buildings covertly. Both soft power architecture and disciplinary power highlight a change in the exercise of postmodern power that unlike the modern or the colonial approach to power has a preference for covert rather than overt power displays.
