The abstract presents an architectural proposal for the Churchill Wildlife Information and Indigenous Culture Centre in Churchill, Northern Manitoba. The project aims to create a dynamic and educational space that showcases the town's rich history, celebrates its Indigenous heritage, and emphasizes the harmonious coexistence with the diverse local wildlife. Situated at the historically significant Rocket Range site, the centre seamlessly integrates with the natural landscape, offering visitors an immersive and captivating journey. Through carefully designed teaching spaces, interactive wildlife exhibitions, and curated displays of indigenous historical photographs, art, and artifacts, the centre provides a comprehensive exploration of Churchill's cultural and environmental heritage. Sustainability and cultural exchange are core principles guiding the design approach. The centre incorporates an artist-in-residence program, facilitating hands-on demonstrations of indigenous crafts while fostering dialogue and mutual learning. With a focus on addressing the need for an updated space that accurately reflects Churchill's unique culture and history, the centre endeavours to inspire a renewed connection with the environment and indigenous traditions. By promoting appreciation, knowledge, and a sense of responsibility towards wildlife, the centre aspires to become a beacon of education and conservation in Churchill's remarkable landscape.
