I graduated from the University in Oslo (summa cum laudae) spring 2002 with
a thesis on Fascist city planning and architecture exploring the hidden power and
control structures underlying the town of Sabaudia in Lazio, Italy. The thesis,
"Sabaudia 1934: Materializing the Fascist Corporate Town" is 150 pages long with
an entire volume of illustrations, and it can be ordered from me at:
