The change of house made fetching wood a very important task for them. The
forest was a long way away and the sleigh dogs needed to eat more meat to man-
age the transport, so seal hunting had to increase as well as wood gathering. The
need for wood became so great during winter that it took longer than all the
other tasks put together. Despite all their efforts, it became clear that the new tim-
ber houses could not give the same warmth and comfort as the original earth
houses (Arne Martin Claussen).
The goal of this topic is to show alternatives to the herrnhutic way of thinking,
which during the last few decades has grown to dominate most of the modern
building industry. It does not function with respect to present day environmen-
tal challenges.
