Spring 2010 Images Online

API meeting with Mittimatilik HTO members to discuss design of the Kallitaq

Images are online from our recent fieldwork conducted in Mittimatilik, Igloolik, and Iqaluit.  This spring we tested several systems, conducted meetings discussing the future design and implementations of API, and held workshops on FLOSS. Too many great ideas and expereinces to list here, but they will bubble up through our future work.  We succesfully tested our MPS - a renewable power system that continues to generate electricty in Igloolik, and we also conducted a two way video conference from a remote location on Siurarjuk Penninsula, Baffin Island to London UK, all powered from solar. A first, for sure.

The API exhibition will show specially commissioned architectural models of the winning entries from an international open design competition for the mobile unit, which received more than 100 entries from over 30 countries. It will also showcase documentation of the project's development, including photographs and films from the team’s trip in summer 2009 made with Igloolik elders and Isuma TV, re-visiting former settlements around the Foxe basin.  The winning unit architectural designs by Richard Carbonnier (Canada), Catherine Rannou (France) and Giuseppe Mecca (Italy) will be displayed.

Protoype Construction Underway

The first prototype of the Iglutaq, designed  together with Ricahrd Carbonnier, Nejc Trost and API, is currently under construction.  Through a collaboration with Nasivvik High School , in Mittimatilik, NU.,  API and Richard are working with David Panipak (right) and Taylor Inuaraq to build the prototype. Above you can see the start of the lower section of the hard shell.   The prototype will be completed and tested in May by API and community memebers in various locations around Nunavut.  If you're in Nunavut and would like to see the prototype, and discuss it, please contact us at info[at]arcticperspectoive[dot]org.
