About
Our goal : culturally safe and sustainable housing ▶ towards true Inuit dwelling
Addressing : lack of significant community involvement in thinking and building Inuit homes, as local aspirations and imported systems do not actually meet
Therefore : a synthesis is needed for identifying changes to actual processes and devising the means to implement those changes
In order to : “invent a new engagement with the North [...], do North and only true North”
