Abstract

Enquiries into non-anthropogenic cultural landscapes, such as marine environments, reveal unsuspected dynamics due to the resurgence of
ecosophies that are alien to the globalised economy and territorialisation as a basis for appropriation and subsequent indiscriminate exploitation. Disturbed by the wanderings of geo-engineering, several regions of the world have recently touched on key arguments with points in  common that could revitalise nonhuman biospheres and, in them, human ones. When considering maritime dynamics, the ocean must be seen as an entity. Following the ever-inspiring
historical literatures of Fernand Braudel and expanding on the “mediterraneity” he formulated, we would be testing another concept involving a change in mentality of  governmentality: “maritoriums”, a conceptualisation from 1970s Chilean architecture. Based on case studies, we will discuss significant examples in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and Asian oceans and rivers that contribute to the current debate on.

Author Biographies

Alban Mannisi, Architecture Milieu Paysage Laboratory, School of Architecture Paris La Villette

Alban Mannisi research focus is on the emerging political ecology implementation in landscape planning and the social ecology deployment through various indigenous environmental mediation. His recent projects and inquiries decipher the globalisation of sustainable narrative and the foundation of localised citizen resistance to translate intangible landscape components in environmental design.

  Deeply concerned with environmental, social and spatial injustice issues, he develops appropriate environmental observation protocol that translates associated human & non-human conflicts into resilient spaces. With the increasing illegibility of the environmental construction of our societies, he elaborates a Political Philosophy of Landscape to decipher the generation / de-generation & re-generation cogs of our fragile landscape mutation to produce ethical design and equitable planning.   Intrigued by how connected histories and hybrid cultures model our scape, he has lived, practiced or taught in France, Korea, Singapore, England, Thailand, Japan and Australia, involving him in a variety of projects among 13 different countries in collaboration with the professionals in various fields, such as landscape architects & planners, architects, urban & territorial planners, environmentalists, governmental officers, researchers and academics.  

Academic, Doctor in Spatial Planning and Urbanism, he is currently Invited Professor at Instituto de Arquitetura e Urbanismo – USP São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil  and Associate Researcher at the Architecture / Milieu / Paysage Laboratory of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-La Villette (ENSAPLV).

Witiya Pittungnapoo, Faculty of Architecture, Art and Design, Naresuan University, Thailand

Witiya Pittungnapoo is an assistant professor in Faculty of Architecture, Naresuan University in Thailand. She has worked on flooding adaptations for cultural landscapes preservation in the Lower Northern Region in Thailand over a decade. Being a country reporter will provide her with an opportunity to share Thais’ local wisdom for flood resilient approaches by encouraging planners and designers to concern more on climate change for their own cultural heritage preservation.

Shota Saito, Landscape Architecture dpt; McGregor Coxall, Australia

Shota is a Japanese Landscape Architect with experience in both Japanese domestic and international urban landscape projects when he worked for firms in Japan. He earned his Master of Landscape Architecture degree with Distinction from RMIT University and completed a Master of Fine Arts (Landscape Architecture) back at Kyoto University of Art and Design.

Shota is passionate about aquatic landscape architecture, focusing on the mutualism between humans and non-human stakeholders. His final project at RMIT University, Flux Aquascape, focuses on the microscopic marine ecosystems and the reviving of local fisheries and it was presented at Archifest 2020 in Singapore.

While Shota was in Japan, he gained knowledge of Japanese gardens by preserving world heritage gardens in Kyoto. Throughout his experience, he pursues various aspects of sustainable urban ecology as a landscape architect.
