Vardø winners at Barents Spektakel
Louis Hall from the winning team of Langdon Reis Architects was invited to the seminar Visionary Arctic in Kirkenes February 4-5. The seminar was part of the annual festival Barents Spektakel.
The aim of the seminar was to present new readings and visions of the High North, challenging the notion that the future of the North is solely dependent on traditional extraction of natural resources.
From the seminar programme: The seminar ”Visionary Arctic” is a must for those who are interested in contemporary art, architecture and research. Futuristic views of the roles of the Arctic: a bank of resources or zone of innovation? The seminar will especially focus on settlement patterns in the High North as a result of centralisation, recent changes in the border relations and management of resources.
The seminar was organized by Pikene på broen and the Barents Institute.
