'The Iron Skeleton and the Imperial Skin: Materiality and the Construction of Modernity in Colonial Hong Kong and Singapore' with Dr Ian Tan, chaired by Kelvin Ang. This talk examines the history of iron architecture in colonial-era Hong Kong and Singapore. It aims to not only understand the material's circulation between Britain and these two imperial outposts, but also the extent to which it catalysed broader movements of physical objects, building expertise and architectural practices around the imperial British sphere between the late 19th through the early 20th centuries. |
