Summary:
Finding your way around Sami building culture and architecture can be a challenge, as the material is scattered and sometimes inaccessible. This book is intended as both an introduction and a guide to deepening one's knowledge of the subject - in North Sami, Norwegian and English. In October 2021, the National Museum opened an exhibition of architect and artist Joar Nango's nomadic architectural library Girjegumpi. During the opening weekend, the museum organized a seminar on Sami architecture, and the lectures from the seminar are the basis for the book. Here you can read more about Nango's work Girjegumpi, Sami building practices, the treatment of the Sami in the history of architecture in Norway, how reconstruction and Norwegianization went hand in hand, the phenomenon of kjempelávvu, and also get an overview of Sami architecture on the Norwegian side of Sápmi.

Summary:
Aigi’s journey into the mythical world of the Sami people starts with a race for the first ray of sunlight of the New Year, and continues with a plunge into the mythical Saivo realm to search for a childhood friend. On the journey, for those who know, the knowledge of beings such as the gobmi, skammaidas and other mythical creatures will surely be needed. ''Fathoms of the fenlake'' is a ground-breaking fantasy story: strong ties to nature, full of resourcefulness and courage, along with mystical powers have always been present in the Sami culture. The Aigi-saga draws from that legendary folklore.

Summary:
Architecture with a social conscience comes in several forms in this issue. Miquel Adrià calls for a “redensification” of social housing. In a section on the ‘Corporate Drive to be in Good Shape’, the Hyundai education and research training facility gives workers breathability between sea and mountain in Gyeongju. An all-timber construction of a Norwegian bank in Stavanger has a positive effect on user experience and well being. In ‘Learning within Location and Place’, the patterns of Sami indigenous people shape a major Swedish school. New projects include a Möbius strip-inspired lakeside cultural complex.
