Otherworldly and impenetrable, the ocean seems to be the inverse of a built environment. It is inhospitable; rough, unsolid, and too wet, the enemy of mortar and stone. It is nevertheless brimming with matter – animal, geological, and man-made, seeming to be a space of possibility, or an opportunity for conquest: humanity’s relationship to the ocean oscillates constantly between domination and defeat.
As the climate changes and the ocean expands, questions of how we build with the sea become urgent, and it will not long bear human manipulations: as Philip Hoare writes in the keynote, ‘the truth is it has never been under our control, and our future is threatened by the fact that it is rising against us.’
