Filling out more detail on the Ark edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The PEI Ark is a building of some significance in the history of Canadian Green Architecture. Another Architecture student and I were going to fill in as many details of this project in the future. A plan is being made to write up a more in depth overview of this project.

The Sources we were looking to use to cover the topic were two books and several articles.

Book - "LIVING LIGHTLY ON THE EARTH"

Building an ark for Prince Edward Island, 1974-76

Author - Steven Mannell

Book - Canadian Modern Architecture : 1967 to the present

Author - Elsa Lam and Graham Livesey

Published - 2019

This website is a Catalogue of the Ark, one of the contributors to this website is Dalhousie University.

The PEI Ark Catalogue - To collect and share artifacts related to the prototypical self-sustaining residence built in 1976. In support of the PEI Ark Project and Exhibition.

This website is from the investors in the Ark Project. The New Alchemists also completed some other Ark Projects of note. They have a Wikipedia page on file.

Canadian Architect Publication also features four stories on Ole Hammarlund, and they include sources for the Ark

I am writing this out as a new writer for this website. It was mentioned that I should include this information on Talk before the project is being worked on. I am unsure if the raw data pulled from the New Alchemists (Dimensions and building systems) would be copywritten.

I was also considering drawing up my own sketches of the building or its systems. The building was decommissioned and no creative commons image appears to be easily accessible. This may change. MythrilDragon (talk) 18:47, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
