Qaammat

Monumental pavilion; Designed to celebrate and promote the Inuit's intangible cultural heritage and traditional knowledge of the environment. Inspired by one of the more significant features of UNESCO's Aasivissuit-Nipisat Heritage Site, the extraordinary cairn system is a Greenlandic "inussuk," a manufactured monument in an open environment. The idea and location of the landmark Qaammat are inextricably tied to the traditions of the local heritage and serve both as a reverence for the historical "inussuk", and a modern landmark.
