    North Port
    (2019-04-18) Kiefer, Ryan; Hight, Christopher; Colman, Scott; Wittenberg, Gordon; Finley, Dawn
    North Port is a projective port city on the Northern Canadian Coast reacting to the circumstances of climate change and resultant landscape instability. Continuing languages established by historical precedents for new-ground urban environments, it posits a negative utopia in a unique northern context; a way-station at the furthest extant of habitation where architecture works as a mediator and sanctuary in a changing terrain. It is a product of an unbalanced economy and reflects the infiltration of mining development pursuance in the north, an increasing pressure contrary to existing modes of habitation.
