By employing research techniques and spatial analysis that describe building
in Arctic regions, Many Norths explores how Arctic settlements have responded
to climate and geography, as well as everincreasing global pressures, to ask: What
is next for the North? 'Many Norths charts unique, often surreal
spatial realities of Canada's arctic regions, documenting the geospatial, infrastructural, techno-cultural, and architectural innovations that have enabled modern life in this territory of climatic and cultural extremes. It is a region
where the reality of daily life is often stranger and more extraordinary than any fiction one could envision. This unprecedented book documents the region through five themes: settlements, architecture, mobility, monitoring, and resources. Many Norths reveals the challenges and opportunities of building, mobility,
and culture in the dispersed communities of the Canadian North, and speculates the emergence of a contemporary northern, or arctic, vernacular. Many Norths offer a unique look at Canada's 'next North', uncovering the compelling
story of northern inhabitation and cultural adaptation through architecture, landscape,and infrastructure development over the past 100 years.'
