Culture Of Outports, Brigus Workshop

We were invited to Brigus, NL to provide a small stone walling clinic.

ERA Architects Inc. from Ontario coordinated a community project in brigus. Part of their annual design/build innitatives. This build was executed by a group of competent Ryerson University students.

As stonework is a defining feature in Brigus, the project was to incoprorate dry stone elements

The clinic coverd some basic technical elements, and a short practical session to help the students make informed decision regarding the feasibility and scope of their project.
