Beyond Industry : A Systems-Based Approach to Collective Form Martyn, Jesse
Abstract
Globalization and capitalism are resulting in the emergence of more and more urbanized landscapes. As the world becomes increasingly globalized, ports become ideal places for investment and development. Because of its strategic coastal location, Prince Rupert has one of the fastest growing port terminals in North America and is the epicentre for the exploitation of natural resources in Northern British Columbia. As Prince Rupert evolves, peak oil is reached, and non-renewable resources decline, we can imagine a transition toward a renewable resource economy, an influx of renewable resource industries, and an influx of diverse groups of people. This project seeks to envision how the city can develop through a responsive urbanism shaped by the industries that stimulate the local and global economy. This is explored through a Systems-Based Approach to Collective Form. This proposal positions the architect as a mediator. It proposes approaches not as fixed solutions, but as possibilities for how a place can evolve in response to shifting geopolitical and socioeconomic values. This project suggests ways in which an urbanism can develop and adapt to support these shifts, highlighting the need for the designer to consider cycles and transformations. This project forecasts the future generative potential of industries stimulating the Canadian resource economy, while allowing these industries to productively shape the built environment and the exchanges that occur within it

| Description |
Globalization and capitalism are resulting in the emergence of more and more
urbanized landscapes. As the world becomes increasingly globalized, ports become
ideal places for investment and development. Because of its strategic coastal location,
Prince Rupert has one of the fastest growing port terminals in North America and is
the epicentre for the exploitation of natural resources in Northern British Columbia.
As Prince Rupert evolves, peak oil is reached, and non-renewable resources decline, we
can imagine a transition toward a renewable resource economy, an influx of renewable
resource industries, and an influx of diverse groups of people. This project seeks to envision how the city can develop through a responsive urbanism shaped by the industries that stimulate the local and global economy. This is explored through a Systems-Based Approach to Collective Form.
