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:
Since 2014, CARTHA has provided a platform for critical thinking on architecture and society. Founded by an international team of architects and designers, it aims to bridge the gap between theoretical and practical approaches to contemporary architecture. Each year, CARTHA initiates research and the publication of four issues on a topic in its online magazine that are then brought together in an annual book. In 2015, CARTHA’s topic was relations within the architectural spectrum. Contributions explore models of collaboration and the ways in which architects relate to other architects, clients, workers, and users of space. Each of the four issues—Worth Sharing, Confrères, Mannschaft, and Santisima Trinidad—features an introductory interview with a renowned architect or firm, including Diogo Seixas Lopes, Grafton Architects, Samuel Schulze, and Marco Serra. Photography in the 2015 edition of CARTHA includes series by Guido Guidi, Rasmus Norlander, Joël Tettamanti, and Onnis Luque.
