However, centuries of commercial trade and an expanding network of infrastructures above and below the water's surface have long challenged this view, prompting researchers to conceptualize the sea as an urbanized environment. While the sea is a global arena where architecture, ecology, infrastructure, and politics intersect, its spatial dynamics remain largely uncharted.\u003c\/p\u003eIn a time of planetary urbanization, The Ocean as Ground explores oceans as urban spaces by unveiling forgotten histories, projects, and narratives. How might we understand land urbanization starting from the oceans? Through the conceptual lens of \"ground\", the book invites readers to rethink how we perceive, design, and inhabit the spaces of both land and sea.\u003cul\u003eExplores the untold history of architecture's relationship with the seaOffering a fresh perspective on offshore modernismUnderstanding land urbanization from the ocean's point of view\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatteo Vianello is a PhD, author, educator, and researcher in landscape architecture from Università Iuav di Venezia.
