Projektbeschreibung

Architecture, Spatial Justice, and U.S. Colonialism in the Pacific

Vortrag in englischer Sprache von Prof. Dr. Kelema Lee Moses

Freitag, 2022/07/15, 16 Uhr, Bibliothekslounge


Many architects and urban planners working in the Hawaiian Islands utilize U.S. building codes, zoning ordinances, and urban growth models to create spatial narratives of exposure and erasure on Native geographies. This presentation interrogates residential development in Kaka‘ako, Hawai‘i: a land reclamation project on filled land near the relatively flat shoreline. Development projects in the district offer a “live, work, play” environment for middle to high income earners. However, I suggest that mixed-use developments in the district create an architectural performance wherein design elements are reliant upon island and Native ecologies. In doing so, architecture functions to blur histories of U.S. colonialism in the Pacific and Native epistemes rooted in place, place-making, and well-being.
