Description
Mediating Environments examines fundamental and radical environmental conditions in the Arctic, providing innovative design approaches and spatial outcomes. Climate plays a crucial role in shaping activities in the region, influencing future transformations in northern urban landscapes.
The publication aims to expand conceptual strategies in the Arctic beyond traditional modes of insulation, stabilization, and optimization, repositioning the region as a central figure within global exchanges. It explores how design can work with dynamic environmental mechanisms, such as thermal cycles of ground, to create climatically responsive and arctic-specific paradigms for urban development.
This study is not an argument against engineering, but rather for greater synergies between engineering and design, and science and design, in developing sustainable solutions for Arctic cities.
