Im looking for essays, books etc. on how architecture is used as a method of control and a way of instiling order.

Anone know where I may find any essays books etc. exploring the relationship of architecture to athoritarian control structures? (the 2 meanings of structure, for example..) So far I have had little luck as any books on Totalitarian state-architecture like that of the third reich are quite shallow.

I also tried to find out some information about anarchism and architecture. One architect that I discovered was Giancarlo De Carlo (Italian architect). Lebeus Woods also tackles some of these issues in his work.
