"Arctic Adaptations: Nunavut at 15" offers visitors a unique look at the relationship between architecture, land, climate, and culture. The project was first presented as Canada’s official exhibition at the prestigious 2014 Venice Biennale in Architecture, where it was honored with a Special Mention. Celebrating Nunavut’s 15th anniversary as a territory, Arctic Adaptations is a team-based project initiated and led by architectural firm Lateral Office. It surveys a century of Arctic architecture, an urbanizing present, and a projective near future of adaptive architecture in Nunavut. Arctic Adaptations features interactive architecture models, photography, and topographical maps of the 25 communities of Nunavut, and specially commissioned work by Inuit carvers who have created masterful scale models of some of the best-known buildings in the territory. Following the launch in Winnipeg, the WAG and Lateral Office are touring Arctic Adaptations nationally to the Yukon Arts Centre, Whitehorse (June-August 2015); the Museum of Vancouver, Vancouver (October-December 2015); and the Illingworth Kerr Gallery, Calgary (January-March 2016), with generous support from Presenting Sponsor Manulife. Additional venues will be added in 2016-2017. For more event details, click here or visit wag.ca.
