University of Toronto, John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design
    Bong's dissertation investigates how early modern geo-architects in the Papal States transformed the challenges of unstable terrain—collapsing foundations, shifting rivers, and seismic soils—into a new empirical and representational practice that treated the ground itself as a site of design, where visualizing instability became both a method of securing the stability of the ground and the papacy’s own institutional and theological permanence.
