Objectif(s): To analyse the dominant factors influencing the shape of buildings in the arctic: sun, high wind velocities, low temperture rain, drifting snow, etc.; to study the structure and review the basic aspects of technical design as applicable to various types of construction; to study permafrost and its effect in northern architecture; to investigate concepts, ideas and solutions to improve the quality of contemporary architecture in the Northwest Territories.

Description du projet: This research will investigate the relationship between the architectural and technical aspects of buildings and severe northern climate.
