The project articulates climate change in the Arctic through an imaginary architecture project - an embassy of ice that forces world leaders to work together to reduce global warming. The project connects a literary narrative with an extensive technology and material study.
The project articulates climate change in the Arctic through an imaginary architecture project - an embassy of ice that forces world leaders to work together to reduce global warming. The project connects a literary narrative with an extensive technology and material study.
The project is told through six stories.Each describes the new seed vault through a different relationship to time, the glacier and the program that when brought together becomes a full blueprint to the project.
Dreaming of a symbiotic relation between a build and a natural environment, The project speculates on how to use ice as a structural and phenomenological technology that unfolds and makes tangible the different time spans and natural phenomenons that characterize the high arctic.
The result is a dialogue between body, architecture and landscape unfolded through a dynamic building system that responds to change in the surroundings, for example accentuating the properties of water in both liquid, solid and
gaseous form.
