Attawapiskat. Reimagined. | A TINY HOUSE PROJECT
Galliah T.
Home to approximately 2,000 people, this isolated First Nation is surrounded by wilderness and waterways teeming with wild plants, food, and natural resources, the “People of the Parting Rocks” highly value their connection to their land, its rich language and raw natural beauty.
Inspired by the cultural significance of their traditional and ceremonial structures such as the “wigwam” (cone or dome shape shelters made out of wood and animal skin during the precolonial era), I was also motivated to adopt the concept of fractal geometry. It is a study of mathematical shapes that shows a progression of never-ending, self-similar detail, from large to small scales.
