Inga Kaugsai

When the Inga people of Colombia begin to discuss the creation of the Inga AWAI Pan-Amazonian University, the traditional authorities asked for something tangible and material to begin to imagine this learning space and move towards a common goal: where would it be located and what would its material and spatial manifestation be like? In Inga Kaugsai (Habitar Inga/Inga Dwelling) Musu, Pedro, Jhon, Juliana and Catalina, and intercultural group of architects living in Colón, Alto Putumayo, Bogotá D.C. in Colombia and Brighton UK, bring together knowledge about dwelling and its architectures of the Inga People of Colombia which survives with the communities, master builders and wise elders in eight ancestral territories across the Colombian Andean Amazon. This self-published minga of thought preserved in book form, on ancestral knowledge techniques, living from the territories and existing in Mother Earth, offers a space for the transmission of knowledge of the future Pan-Amazonian Inga AWAI University
