Infrastructures of the imagined island: software, mobilities, and the architecture of Caribbean paradise.
The writer examines Zaha Hadid's masterplan for a new resort on Dellis Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands to investigate the convergence of state space, informational space, and tourist space in new fantasies of mobility, accessibility, and island paradise.

The new software-supported spatialities, conceived as urban or metropolitan, are actually having as much effect on remote Caribbean islands and other dispersed enclaves as they are on “advanced” urban regions, although in different ways. As Caribbean states and territories adjust to complex new infrastructures and architectures of mobility, these spatial deformations and refoldings may precociously prefigure processes of postcolonial urbanism that result in the restructuring of private and cyberspatial properties and state territory in other parts of the world. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
