Littoral Telling

At this event, Lindsay Bremner and Dorothy Tang (National university of Singapore) told the Earth from the perspective of the littoral, the dynamic coastal zone shared by land and sea. We told stories from south and east Asia, examining the instruments used by authorities to measure and control the littoral since colonial times, and the resistance the littoral and its people have posed to such endeavours. Their presentations concluded by asking whether the littoral presented an imaginary for inhabiting the earth otherwise.The event was part of a series t the Architectural Association titled Field Forum curated by Jingru (Cyan) Cheng and Chen Zhang.
