Due to the scarcity of reclamation materials, a new method is being explored called ”de-clamation”, consisting of moving and manipulating existing coastal land masses within the city state. The pavilion will showcase new landscape and spatial typologies during the biennale. The new East Coast coastal masterplan shall also be revealed.
