It would be difficult to find a site more geographically
charged than the Bering Strait. As a region rich in scientific speculation,
exploration, resources, ecology, and myth, the remote position of the Bering Strait
has had its role relegated to that of a global seam; A spatial and temporal
rift. Its remoteness is the byproduct of frequent representation as severed and
disconnected edges in the flattened global map. However, the potential of
reclamation of the ancient land bridge at a continental scale is symbolically
potent and logistically opportune. But how can this connection acknowledge its
charged condition without merely operating as a symbol or monument to its
geography?
Our proposal seeks to capitalize and highlight this unique
geography, climate, and context. The scheme simultaneously creates a link
across the former Beringia “land bridge” as it establishes an occupiable
infrastructure. All of these should tread lightly on the landscape of the
Bering Strait. The intent here is less to impose a landscape in this context
than to emphasize the sublime conditions already existing.
The Bering Strait is significant in its suggestion of
east-west connections from Asia to North America in terms of human and culture,
and equally significant in its north-south connections from the North Pacific
Ocean to the Arctic Ocean in terms of marine ecologies and migration.
