During our stay in Schefferville village- north pole, Canada we were asked to understand the population structure and their specific lifestyle, for the purpose to understand the case we stayed at the village for one week, to experience the real Innu's life.
The structure of an isolated population is not much familiar today in an age of globalization and the transcendental connections to the physicality of the place, culture and social background. The project aims to place emphasis on the existence of the culture of the Innu in the Northern pole as a closed and distant population with an attempt to find a place for it in the global context while preserving its identity and culture.
The need for containment and exposure to the wider world and at the same time a personal gain for the culture required finding a platform that enabled that reciprocal relationship. This culminated in the creation of sport programs adapted to the extreme climate as a tool that solves on the one hand the problems of this isolated population and on the other, as a stage of exposure to the outside world through a combination of tourism.
The proposed system is a dual system that defines the nature of life in several layers, so that the basic anchor in it is the sports programs and around them the internal system connected
to the Innue culture and the external integration of tourism. As an architectural strategy that allows for contact between internal social values and external values with the objective of
blurring the boundaries between collectiveness and individuality Such a system consists of sub-spaces of residential spheres, with multiple types of sport-oriented programs that affect the housing typology meaning as well as other public and tourist spaces that together create a fabric of one urban system. The single sphere is built using a technique of construction consisting of a series of wood cuts, which together form and configure the shape of the space and blur the differences between its internal programs. They create an experience of one continuous spheral space that replaces the meaning of a partition.
