In the Saint Lawrence River, on an island called Île Verte, twelve boucaneries (smokehouses) testify to local ingenuity and collective resilience amidst the harsh climate of Quebec, Canada. Using a participatory design process, Boucaneries explores how adaptive reuse of those smokehouse-inspired structures can promote the island’s food self-sufficiency, cultural development, and traditions.
