During the 19th century, Greenlandic architecture changed. For centuries, the Greenlandic Inuit had lived in tents during the summer with their nuclear family and traveled for hunting. During the winter, families that collaborated on winter hunting lived together in communal houses built of stone, sod/turf, fur, driftwood, and whale bones. Throughout the 19th century, the Danish administrators imported glass windows, wood, and iron stoves and promoted single-family, year-round houses built out of imported wood. Asta Mønsted and I have researched how this architectural change affected the experience of privacy: it shifted from a shared experience, claimed and provided through flexible, gestural spatial markers, to a more solitary experience defined by rigid spatial boundaries. Thank you Katrine Mølgaard for the interview at the Centre for Privacy Studies. Next, Asta and I will work on visualizing the light qualities created by soapstone lamps in the communal houses that affected the sense of private zones and teach about it at a seminar at Lund University.
