Every time you wheel a shopping cart through one of Walmarts more than 10,000 stores worldwide, or swipe your credit card or purchase something online, you enter a mindboggling logistical regime. Even if youve never shopped at Walmart, its logistics have probably affected your life. The Rule of Logistics makes sense of its spatial and architectural ramifications by analyzing the stores, distribution centers, databases, and inventory practices of the worlds largest corporation.The Rule of Logistics tells the story of Walmarts buildings in the context of the corporations entire operation, itself characterized by an obsession with logistics. Beginning with the companys founding in 1962, Jesse LeCavalier reveals how logisticsas a branch of knowledge, an area of work, and a collection of processestakes shape and changes our built environment. Weaving together archival material with original drawings, LeCavalier shows how a diverse array of ideas, people, and thingsmilitary theory and chewing gum, Howard Dean and satellite networks, Hudson River School painters and real estate software, to name a feware all connected through Walmarts logistical operations and in turn are transforming how its buildings are conceptualized, located, built, and inhabited.A major new contribution to architectural history and theory, The Rule of Logistics helps us understand how retailing today is changing our bodies, brains, buildings, and cities and predicts what future forms architecture might take when shaped by systems that exceed its current capacities.
