From October 18–22, 2019, the Habitats and Cultures studio from the Master’s program of the Université Laval School of Architecture, travelled to Nunavik to collaborate with Kangiqsualujjuamiuq to imagine a sacred house on the Land.
The workshop aims to develop culturally and territorially appropriate projects for Nunavik Inuit communities. Kangiqsualujjuamiuq have highlighted the need for a “Sacred House” or a shelter on the Land, a “Place for the transmission of Inuit culture... and more” particularly for local youth and elders.
