Maritorium Biocracy. Climate Atmospheric Design

While the efforts to bring out disregarded knowledge to resolve our toxic exogenous anthropisation are slowly producing innovative environmental pedagogy, the inertia of thinkers, designers, engineers, and politicians towards these ecological dynamics keeps raising doubts about our contemporary priorities. Although many societies have reformulated the exogenous patterns imposed on them, the maritime and terrestrial environments are still being administered according to business models fed on transient history. Surprisingly, unsung biospheres arise from the imperious environmental inquiries sparked by climate deregulation, community displacement, and sea-level rise considerably impacting the cultural landscapes of our planet, Maritories. Damaged, those regions, including their social capitals, which generated our worldwide mobility for millennia, are now considered crippled by Western management models. Also, a better understanding and consideration of these realities in the management of our extended ecosystem is imperative today, such as their ability to resolve climate deregulation, sea-level rise, and community disarray, is undeniable. Due to the overwhelming illiteracy of environmental pedagogy towards these indigenous social ecologies and engineering, Maritorium Biocracy, a series of research design inquiries on the maritime and terrestrial space [i.e., Maritory] dynamics and issues, is committed to changing this situation. Through the following Maritories field survey in Penang, Malaysia; Singapore; Bali, Indonesia; and Ishigaki, Japan, we will attempt to uncover controversies among Indigenous, autochthonous, and exogenous management, the unavowed reasons explaining the replacement of timeless ethics with unsustainable apparatus. Their rejuvenation, as both a symbol and symptom of our ecological awareness, invites us to reconsider the relevance of our future ecological commitment.
