These references connect strongly with Socioplastics because they all examine how knowledge, territory, visibility and governance are no longer produced only through buildings, institutions or texts, but through infrastructural systems: data platforms, semantic indexes, archives, algorithms, urban logistics, digital twins and cultural protocols. The bibliography forms a theoretical constellation around the same central problem: how form becomes knowledge, and how knowledge becomes infrastructure. Lefebvre supplies the political grammar of urban space; Jiang and Sperandio extend it into smart governance; Quek et al. and KONDA translate it into semantic interoperability; Estlund explains algorithmic visibility; Mounier and Dumas Primbault theorise knowledge infrastructures; Söderström and Datta expose urban data power; UNESCO frames cultural data as a civilisational issue; and logistics theory reveals the material circulation beneath neoliberal space. Together, they position Socioplastics not as a conventional art or architecture project, but as a living epistemic apparatus: an indexed, citational, semantic and territorial system for stabilising public thought.
