Scope and content:
Building in the North: A study of responses to the northern environment and of building experiences in northern climates. The study was published in two volumes: Building in the North, a study of building conditions and responses; and Building in the North II, a compendium of experiences in construction buildings and communities in the North.
Mackenzie Pipeline: A study of the impact of a proposed pipeline from the Arctic up the Mackenzie River valley on the people and communities of the Mackenzie region. The commission included environmental, social, economic, construction and logistical considerations.
An "Atlas of the Communities of the Mackenzie" was prepared and published by van Ginkel Associates and distributed to all communities and groups in the western Northwest Territories at an early stage of the study. The final published report is titled "Communities of the Mackenzie".
