Pivoting the Pearl
2022ResearchLaboratory
The Pearl River Delta is one of the fastest transforming regions in the world, shaped by urban expansion, land reclamation, and global logistics.
Plume of the Pearl River Delta reframes the digital twin not just as a tool of prediction and control but as a liminal space for negotiation. Here, ambiguity becomes a resource, allowing governments, manufacturers, developers, and ecological stakeholders to engage with complexity rather than erase it.
The project pivots conversations from extractive urban growth toward ecological investment and adaptive governance, positioning the delta as a model for resilience and shared futures.
