02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
The circular floor is divided around a central stone hearth, with sleeping and household zones following the perimeter and a direct path to the low entrance.
materials
Curved birch poles, turf, bark, hide, wool, stone, earth, and woven fibre balance portable structure with the insulation required by an Arctic climate.
furniture
Reindeer hides, low bedding, carved wooden vessels, storage bags, and compact cooking tools remain close to the perimeter and easy to transport.
lighting
A roof smoke opening and low doorway admit blue Arctic light, while the hearth creates a warm centre against the dark frame and insulating turf.
decoration
Hide, woven bands, carved utensils, and the repeated curve of exposed poles enrich the shelter through material craft rather than fixed ornament.
