- W2768098081 abstract "Jiat-Hwee Chang A Genealogy of Tropical Architecture: Colonial Networks, Nature and Technoscience London: Routledge, 2016, 290 pp., 97 b/w illus. $180 (cloth), ISBN 9780415840774; $53.95 (paper), ISBN 9780415840781Tropical architecture developed in the nineteenth century as a global discourse across the networks of the British, French, and Dutch empires. Each node that became a site of tropical architecture had a distinct trajectory and areas of emphasis, yet climatic design unifies the diverse histories of these sites. The multiple discourses that have defined tropical architecture as a field developed diachronically through numerous disciplinary terrains, including medicine, sanitation, meteorology, civil engineering, architecture, and environmental design.In A Genealogy of Tropical Architecture , Jiat-Hwee Chang builds upon scholarship inaugurated by Mark Crinson, Hannah le Roux, and Ola Uduku, who first revealed tropical architecture to be a neocolonial discourse that developed after World War II and operated within asymmetrical power relationships.1 Chang examines tropical architecture from the vantage point of Singapore, producing a highly granulated history that shows how unequal power relationships were spatialized through regimes of technoscientific knowledge. This scholarly endeavor demonstrates how the seemingly apolitical and ahistorical publications on tropical architecture that have persisted well into the twenty-first century have a genealogy that extends beyond the immediate postwar period and is deeply embedded in early colonial ideology. Shade, natural lighting, and ventilation––ostensibly ideologically neutral environmental elements that form the bedrock of tropical architecture––were the products of broader colonial discourses that collectively constituted the tropical sciences. Chang investigates an extended period, from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the third quarter of the twentieth century, in order to historicize tropical architecture in colonial discourse, charting its disciplinary migration from hygiene to architecture. In the process, tropical architecture was subject to the ideological machinations associated with the vicissitudes of the British Empire. Initially developed as an instrument of direct imperial power, tropical architecture became a means of exercising soft power after World War II, as decolonization led to the empire's …" @default.
