Description

The prototype is an exploration of the traditional and contemporary alignments of structural round timber construction to broader national issues such as ecology, regionalism, colonisation and settlement. By examining Canada through the lens of this underutilized construction typology, relationships between traditional and Western knowledges emerge as a working prototype.

Jury Report

Foregrounding that housing is a human right, this team's proposal looks at decoding affordability alongside resource extraction and industrial materials. Relying on insights from Mi'kmaq elder Peter Poulet about the inherent qualities of materials from an Indigenous perspective, the team uses the concept of Indigenous two-eyed seeing to learn both from Indigenous and Western world views. Their diagnosis, that industrialized housing production needs to be decoded, led to an exploration of structural round timber (SRT) and community benefit.
