Beschreibung
A persistent narrative portrays the ocean as an uninhabited space. However, centuries of commercial trade and an expanding network of infrastructures above and below the waters surface have long challenged this view, prompting researchers to conceptualize the sea as an urbanized environment. While the sea is a global arena where architecture, ecology, infrastructure, and politics intersect, its spatial dynamics remain largely uncharted.In a time of planetary urbanization, The Ocean as Ground explores oceans as urban spaces by unveiling forgotten histories, projects, and narratives. How might we understand land urbanization starting from the oceans? Through the conceptual lens of ground, the book invites readers to rethink how we perceive, design, and inhabit the spaces of both land and sea.Explores the untold history of architectures relationship with the sea Offering a fresh perspective on offshore modernism Understanding land urbanization from the oceans point of view
