The current social and cultural global climate around the planet inevitably passes through building shapes which tend to be always similar to each other everywhere in the world. The uniformity of the architectural languages<\/strong>, made of \u201cuniversal<\/strong><\/em>\u201d shapes and materials is the scenario within the citizen of the world travels. But it can also happen that historical and social values which are locally rooted find expression in bright architectures which, even with an international breadth, can communicate a message of singularity and speciality. This is the example of the Sami Cultural Centre<\/strong> in Inari<\/strong>, Finland<\/strong>, historical and cultural town populated by the Lapland Sami minority<\/strong>, a local population in the extreme north of Europe, occupied in hunting and fishing for centuries which became stationary only in the 1950\u2019s. Thanks to the European Union<\/strong> funds for the development of the ethnical minorities, in 2008 an architectural competition was issued for a centre where this population could have the chance to promote and preserve their own historical and cultural values as well as the language and to carry out their own activities.<\/p>
