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\u00a0than a century, 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\u00a0on the land reclamation process\u00a0<\/span>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. (Prof. Uta Hassler and Asst. Prof. Milica Topalovic).\u00a0Drawing from detailed topographic maps spanning two moments in time, 1924 and 2012, the joint project provides a meticulous description of Singapore\u2019s transformation over the entire national territory and during a century of intensive modernisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 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.
