The changing Arctic is of broad political concern and is being
studied across many fields. This book investigates ongoing changes
in the Arctic from a landscape perspective. It examines settlements
and territories of the Barents Sea Coast, Northern Norway, the
Russian Kola Peninsula, Svalbard and Greenland from an
interdisciplinary, design-based and future-oriented perspective.
The Future North project has travelled Arctic regions since 2012,
mapped landscapes and settlements, documented stories and
practices, and discussed possible futures with local actors.
Reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the project, the authors
in this book look at political and economic strategies, urban
development, land use strategies and local initiatives in specific
locations that are subject to different forces of change. This book
explores current material conditions in the Arctic as effects of
industrial and political agency and social initiatives. It provides
a combined view on the built environment and urbanism, as well as
the cultural and material landscapes of the Arctic. The chapters
move beyond single-disciplinary perspectives on the Arctic, and
engage with futures, cultural landscapes and communities in ways
that build on both architectural and ethnographic participatory
methods.
Routes and roads make their way into and across the landscape,
defining it as landscape and making it accessible for many kinds of
uses and perceptions. Bringing together outstanding scholars from
cultural history, geography, philosophy, and a host of other
disciplines, this collection examines the complex entanglement
between routes and landscapes. It traces the changing conceptions
of the landscape from the Enlightenment to the present day, looking
at how movement has been facilitated, imagined and represented and
how such movement, in turn, has conditioned understandings of the
landscape. A particular focus is on the modern transportation
landscape as it came into being with the canal, the railway, and
the automobile. These modes of transport have had a profound impact
on the perception and conceptualization of the modern landscape, a
relationship investigated in detail by authors such as Gernot
BAhme, Sarah Bonnemaison, Tim Cresswell, Finola O'Kane, Charlotte
Klonk, Peter Merriman, Christine Macy, David Nye, Vittoria Di
Palma, Charles Withers, and Thomas Zeller.
