Temporal cities, provisional citizens: architectures of internment

第二次世界大战拘留设施的权宜之计设计、组装和建造，以及随后将其改造为战后拘留和纪念活动，产生了与公民身份有关的营地环境的遗产。这些激烈的实验场所暴露了太平洋战争期间发生的种族差异、人类流离失所和国家敌对行为。通过对澳大利亚、新加坡和美国的比较案例研究，该项目旨在研究如何将建筑和相关领域的专业知识运用到他们的生产中。由此产生的公民身份、社区和纪念话语将被研究。它们对于理解政治、种族和时间环境的意义将被探讨。

The expedient design, assembly and erection of Second World War internment facilities, and their subsequent transformation for post-war detention and commemoration has produced a legacy of camp environments associated with citizenship. These intense experimental sites expose racial differences, human displacements and national hostilities occurring during the Pacific War. Through comparative case studies in Australia, Singapore and the United States, this project aims to examine how expertise in architecture and related fields were mobilised in their production. Resultant discourses of citizenship, community and commemoration will be studied. Their significance for understanding political, racially-inscribed and temporal environments will be explored.
