mobilizing tactical design at the front lines of global<br />
economic development<br />
This entry received an Honorable Mention at the Think Space<br />
Moral Borders Competition, which called for submissions that<br />
address a hyper-connected, finance-driven world, where the<br />
“escalation of the market economy...has resulted in a complete<br />
exclusion of architects as credible civic agents.” This proposal,<br />
which was done in collaboration with Patricia Heyda, is an<br />
elaboration on Professor Heyda’s past research, and an extension<br />
of my own China Hub-related work (H¥BRID HARVEST). “Dispatch<br />
from the Moral Border” considers the invisible forces at play<br />
in the disappearance of Kinloch, MO - the first African American<br />
community to be incorporated in St. Louis. Through a combination<br />
of political and architectural mechanisms, this proposal theorizes<br />
a community’s counter-attack to the bureacratic arsenal which<br />
threatens to erase it.
