Explore the values and potential of our future footprints during professional and student-led research + workshops.
Anchorage Design Week is pleased to host a community forum to highlight and consider remapping the interfaces of economic development, ecology, culture, and recreation in the North.
Using the geography of the proposed Alaska Long Trail presentations and workshops will touch upon the vast potential of linked multi-modal corridors as they traverse through Alaska's watersheds and hunting grounds (link: https://youtu.be/Sfe9P1xVQ5k). Discussions will focus on the potential for positive outcomes that reflect upon the values of local cultures, address ambitions of planning and design in the north, and consider research being conducted by 4th-year architecture students led by Amanda Aman at the University of Texas at Arlington.
The Symposium seeks to articulate the beauty of our place through all seasons and acknowledges a deep history of adaptation that spans Alaska geographies. Participants will consider projects and concepts that highlight possibilities for guiding processes and development in urban and off-grid contexts along the way.
