Oadjut: Contemporary Sámi Architecture in Practice.
📅 Wednesday June 17
⏱️ 10.45-11.45
📍 Peterson-Bergen in Folkets hus Ubmeje
What is contemporary Sámi architecture, who defines it and what does it bring to our lived environments?
We invite you to a presentation of twelve design principles, defined by Sámi architects in the project Oadjut. The design principles are built on a holistic Sámi outlook on the surroundings. Including respect for nature and ways of looking at resources that align with how material for duodji is gathered and repurposed with a long-term and circular perspective, Sámi architecture holds a key role in creating a sustainable future.
The panel of Sámi architects: Eveliina Sarapää, Jenni Hakovirta, Johanna Minde, Karin Wilstrand, Kalle Bexelius, Maria Nordvall, Magnus Antaris Tuolja, Trine Samuelsen Hansen, Vilja Halonen.
