The project Constructed Land: Singapore 1924\u20132012 investigates the material flows of soil and the changing physical form of the island of Singapore over time. Until today, around one quarter of the land area has been added to the surface of the island-state by means of importing sand, claiming land from the sea, reshaping of existing terrain, and dredging material from the seabed. For more than a\u00a0century, the transformation of topography has accompanied the change of Singapore\u2019s urban landscape. While this process continues at an ever-increasing pace, its scale and implications are breathtaking: The project reveals constructed land as the central paradigm of Singapore\u2019s urban development today.<\/p>\n
The joint research collaboration on Singapore\u2019s constructed land came into being at an intersection of two distinctive approaches to the city: the historic and the territorial. They are represented by two teams, working as part of the ETH Z\u00fcrich, DArch and the Future Cities Laboratory in Singapore. Drawing from detailed topographic maps spanning two moments in time, 1924\u00a0and 2012, the joint project provides a\u00a0meticulous description of Singapore\u2019s transformation over the entire national territory and during a\u00a0century of intensive modernisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
