Market Landscape: Speaking between Financial Districts and The Planet

"Market Landscape" is an investigation into the urban ecologies of two major financial districts: Hong Kong's Central District and London's Canary Wharf. Entangled by histories of empire stretching from the early stages of industrial capitalism up to the present day, this project explores how seemingly mundane design features—like parks, plantings, and land works—reveal new frameworks to understand the inner workings of global financial markets and their wider planetary impact. In doing so, the project aims to contribute to the knowledge of architecture's role in the Anthropocene.

Empêtré dans des histoires impériales s'étalant des premiers stades du capitalisme industriel jusqu'à nos jours, ce projet explore comment des caractéristiques de conception apparemment banales, telles que parcs, parterres et terrassements, révèlent de nouveaux cadres pour comprendre le fonctionnement des marchés financiers mondiaux et leur impact planétaire plus large. Ce faisant, ce projet vise à contribuer à la connaissance du rôle de l'architecture dans l'anthropocène. (38 minutes, Anglais) Pour en apprendre plus sur le projet :
