DESCRIPTION - When it was built in 1937, Treasure Island was considered to be one of the largest man-made islands in the world. Located in the middle of San Francisco Bay, the 400-acre island was constructed out of dredged bay mud in a remarkable feat of Depression-era civil engineering by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Its alluring name is an allusion to the fabled remnants of the California Gold Rush found at the bottom of the ocean floor that makes the island. This collection of essays tells the story of San Francisco's Treasure Island - an artificial, disconnected island that has paradoxically been central to the city's urban ambitions. Conceived as a site for San Francisco's first airport in an age of automobile and air transport, Treasure Island hosted the Golden Gate International Exposition (GGIE) in 1939 celebrating the completion of the Golden Gate and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridges. With particular focus on Asia and Latin America, the GGIE promoted peace, harmony, and commerce in the Pacific. Treasure Island's planned use as an airport was scuttled when World War II abruptly reversed the exposition's message of Pacific unity, and the U.S. government developed Treasure Island and the adjacent Yerba Buena Island into a major Pacific theater naval base. Today, in the midst of a high-tech boom and in one of the most expensive real-estate markets in the world, the city of San Francisco and its developers are proposing an ambitious vision for a new eco-city of about 19,000 residents on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island. The project is considered a model of green urbanism synonymous with a growing global trend toward large-scale, capital-intensive land developments envisioned around ideas of sustainability and spectacular place making. Seen against the successive history of development, future visions for Treasure Island are part of a process of building and erasure that Horiuchi and Sankalia call urban reinventions. This is a process of radical change in which artificial, detached, and delimited sites such as Treasure Island provide an ideal plane for tabula rasa planning driven by property, capital, and state control. With contributions by authors well known for their interdisciplinary work, Urban Reinventions demonstrates how a single site may be interpreted in multiple ways: as a world's fair site, military installation, a semi-derelict relic of past lives, a toxic site of nuclear waste, and a future eco-city and major real estate development. The volume offers a wide spectrum of critiques of race, imperialism, gendered Orientalism, military land use, property capital exchange, new-eco cities, sustainability, and waste as a byproduct of development. The book will be of interest to general readers as well as teachers, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of geography, architecture, planning, urban design, history, environmental studies, American studies, Asian studies, and military history, among others. inventory #41988. …

Hardback. Condizione: New. In this global and comparative study of Pacific War incarceration environments we explore the arc of the Pacific Basin as an archipelagic network of militarized penal sites. Grounded in spatial, physical and material analyses focused on experiences of civilian internees, minority citizens, and enemy prisoners of war, the book offers an architectural and urban understanding of the unfolding history and aftermath of World War II in the Pacific. Examples are drawn from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, and North America. The Architecture of Confinement highlights the contrasting physical facilities, urban formations and material character of various camps and the ways in which these uncover different interpretations of wartime sovereignty. The exclusion and material deprivation of selective populations within these camp environments extends the practices by which land, labor and capital are expropriated in settler-colonial societies; practices critical to identity formation and endemic to their legacies of liberal democracy. …
