Territories of Entanglement – TOPOS

TOPOS Magazine brought the article ‘Territories of Entanglement’ in issue 104 ‘Borders’.

“Denmark could, at present time, on the one hand be considered a coastal society that culturally and socially is entirely linked to the atmospheres, the dynamics, the ecology and cultural heritage of the coastal territory. But on the other hand also a less dynamic society shaped in such a way, that its existence depends increasingly on the systems that human beings have constructed around themselves, rather than the natural order that, from the outset, formed the foundation for the settlement’s success. We see this dependency in the constant battle against coastal erosion, where the coastal settlements, to an increasing degree, is faced with the challenging questions of when to abandon and when to protect, as well as how this materializes into physical landscapes.”
