Imagining infrastructures

The modern usage of the term infrastructure has gone through a series of permutations from early emphasis on logistics, organisation, and the expanding scope of technological networks to more recent interest in the intersections with landscape, ecology, and alternative theorisations of urban materiality. In this event we will explore questions relating to the meaning and conceptualisation of urban infrastructures. The question of infrastructure will serve as an entry point for wider reflections on the changing experience of nature, modernity, and urban space.

This event is part of the Urban Salon - a London-based seminar series exploring urban experiences within an international and comparative frame.

Dr Jiat-Hwee Chang, Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture, National University of Singapore
