ARCH286690
Description:
This item contains harmful materials including violent imagery. The drawing illustrates the discrete elements of an exhibition involving several large-scale installations. One of these installations shows a crane on which a net filled with mannequins is suspended; the mannequins are soaked in oil, in the words of the designers, to represent the impacts of oil spills on the global population. This image, however, suggests violence beyond environmental disasters.

Project
AP027.S1.D68
Description:
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".
