- Abstract
Architectural agency has been suggested as a means of extending
practicability outside of the current boundaries of the profession,
implying a capacity for operability within an informal milieu.
Anchored in Canada's Arctic through territories characterized
by informal building practices, such agency is explored and tested
against the empowerment of individual self-determination through
the act of building.
In this investigation, these territories, which we will give the name
Shacklands, provide a platform for reconsiderations oi post-colonial
space that are initiated by and focused on situated public concerns
from the bottom-up, as referenced by the notion of the ‘second
promise’. Out of this we will attempt a new definition of a nascent
urban north subject to an ongoing process of hybrid reversal.
