A WINTER CITY’S STORY….

Ralph Erskine (Uk 1914-‐ Sweden 2005)

Sketch for a temperature controlled city -‐ Ralph Erskine

DESIGN ‘WITH’ NATURE

Resolute Bay, Quebec -‐ Ralph Erskine (1973)

Vall, N. Social engineering and par.cipa.on in Anglo-‐Swedish housing 1945–1976: Ralph Erskine's vernacular plan (2008)

“the convic+on that the spaUal arrangement of residenUal

areas, with an emphasis on communal space, could be a force in the producUon of good ciUzenship was a recurrent theme

of [Erskine’s] urban village format’

Resolute Bay, Quebec -‐ Ralph Erskine

The seXlement of Resolute Bay today

Inuit men hunUng for food

McGowan, J. Ralph Erskine,(Skiing) Architect. (2008)

‘In the sub-‐arc+c zone there is an enormous quan+ty of space,

but no established culture…The na+ves led their own primi+ve life there. …It has become apparent that there is a need to find…[a] method of life –of modern life–

in this untried region’

On behalf of the Government of Canada and all Canadians, we would like to offer a full and sincere apology to Inuit for the reloca+on of families from Inukjuak and Pond Inlet to Grise Fiord and Resolute

Bay during the 1950s

John Duncan, PC, MP, Quebec Minister of Indian Affairs (2010)

SUSTAINABILITY TO BIOPHILIA: THE NATURE OF LIVABLE CITIES

Brundtland, G. Our common future (1987)

Richard Register, Ecocity vision of San Francisco (1987)

Council of Europe, European Landscape ConvenUon (2000)

“

‘Landscape’ means an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result

of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors

“

Biophilia: “the innately emotional affiliation of human beings to other

living organisms. Innate means hereditary, and hence,

part of ultimate human nature”

Beatley, T. Biophilic ciUes: integraUng nature into urban design and planning (2011)

“ “

Michael Southworth’s (2003) livability dimensions superimposed on Canter’s “place” definiUon (1977)

Phase 1: Inverventions like parklets small, urban farm pock-ets, a mini chicken farm, a bonfire place or a bike repair shed gets placed in the street, stewarded by the common-scape committee.

Phase 2: The commonscape structure gets implemented in the street. The Commonscape committees continue to decide what will be in the different green space and neighbourhood space. The space in front of the local grocery shop gets turned into a community square with a few new buildings that can hold for example a local bak-ery or a cafe.
