Geo Architecture

Two sites we visited in the Maldives, Thilafushi the trash island near Male, and a tourist island under development in South Male Atoll that will remain unnamed, are dialectically co-produced by relations between architecture and trash in complex ways. On the one hand, trash produces the conditions for the generation of architecture, and, on the other, architecture produces the conditions for the generation of trash. They are not by-products of one another, but the matrix through which each unfolds.  Architecture and trash exist in complex relations of mutual causality in which the production of trash is woven into the production of architecture and vice versa.
