Territories of Territory Extraction explores the Singapore Strait: a unique geographical pressure point in the international sand trade, an area where the intersection of economics, environmentalism, and geopolitics is made manifest through architecture. Singapore is the largest global importer of sand, using aggregate for landfill, infrastructure, and cultural projects to maintain the city-state's high standard of living and international influence. Territories of Territory Extraction proposes a living map of the sand trade in the Singapore Strait, creating a resource that cross-references and tracks past and future geopolitical and spatial changes. The project looks forward, interviewing experts in architecture and material science, creating connections and proposing alternatives to sand-based construction in the region and beyond. Territories of Territory Extraction examines a future that has arrived ahead of schedule, laying the groundwork for architecture in an era of scarcity.
