Introduction: North Star Center
NORTH STAR is a public urban center dedicated to reconnecting people with their authentic selves, others, and nature. This new institution aims at stopping the enslaving cycles of unchecked production and consumption dominating our lives, by turning the attention and practice to "being" in its entirely and in all its rich dimensionalities. The project considers ethic, aesthetic, and critical issues facing contemporary civilization, vis-a-vis novel programmatic, technological, environmental, spatial, and phenomenological issues.
