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".

Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the mixed-use tower “El Mirador” in the Bay of Algeciras. The firm was invited to submit their design proposal which won second prize. The competition was organised by the Algeciras City Council. The firm identified this project as number 123. “The project attempts to express, with an architectural gesture, the beauty of the geography of Algeciras: the bay, the port, the Rock and the Straits of Gibraltar, the proximity of Ceuta and Africa, the cork-oak forests that surround the town. For this [Abalos & Herreros] propose a building that, from a single body, opens out into two towers from one great public viewing platform. This form has strategic holes giving onto the more notable topographical features, establishing a physical relationship with them, while the section is organized as a gradient of privacy that increases with height. The competition […] proposed a mixed programme in a posture parallel to the great avenue of the harbour of Algeciras. An evanescent building apparently fragile appears to let one being stimulated by the effects of the climate and the atmospheric phenomenons with an appearance changing with the function of the hours of the day or the season. Its layered section attends ascending to the different landscapes of the city: first public space, second the cities skyline and at last the 360° horizon rising above the city.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with Ángel Jaramillo, Renata Sentkiewicz, Jakob Hense. Documenting this project are conceptual, design development and presentation drawings, cartographic and graphic materials, and competition records.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project for the Inuvik School, later known as East Three School, in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. The project consisted in the landscape design and a playground design for the new school replacing the Sir Alexander MacKenzie elementary school and the Samuel Herne Secondary School. Oberlander worked on this project from 2008 to 2012 with architects Pin/Taylor. During her design process, Oberlander consulted the teachers, parents, staff and students on ways to express their culture in the landscape design. She also had to adapt her design to the extreme climate of the region. Oberlander located the play court at the angle of the two buildings of the elementary school and the secondary school, to shelter it from the wind, and allowing small children to play outside. The plant selection was made by "harvesting local site and surrounding area for plant material" [1] and was also inspired by traditional cuisine. The project was completed in 2012. The project series also includes some documents related to a project possibly unrealized of the Jim Koe Park also in Inuvik, near the school. The project series contains design development drawings and working drawings, such as planting plans, irrigation plans, grading plans, landscape sections, and site plans. The drawings also includes sets of building plans used as reference. The project is also documented through correspondence, including with architects, suppliers, and consultants, specifications, scope of work, schematic design and design reports from architectural firm, minutes of meetings, and research material.
