Oneida Maple Sugar Camp
SIZE
0 sqft - 1000 sqft
Lead Designer, Architect - Chris Cornelius, Studio Indigenous The project will serve the Oneida Tribal School and Oneida Eco-Services Department. It is utilized as the place where maple sap is boiled down to syrup; the tapping of maple trees and using it as natural sweetener is a significant cultural act for Oneida. The cultural significance of this seasonal ritual is coupled with the importance of reading the environment to know when this act is to occur. The building is also an observational device. The ventilation cone is used to see the "seven dancers", i.e. The Pleiades. Once this constellation is directly overhead it signals the Mid-winter ceremony. The importance of celestial observation to the Oneida has been diminished over time, but has been traditionally used to signal many events in nature that signaled the Earth was ready for cultivation or harvesting. The building seeks to render visible the importance of that celestial observation once again.
