Hugh Broughton Architects with Faber Maunsell - Halley VI Research
Designed to endure the extreme weather of polar ice caps, these structures – almost alien in appearance – are like nothing we have seen before. Their unique aesthetics however is nothing more, and nothing less, than an honest response to the specific location and climate; their design – completely stripped of the unnecessary, decorative or unfit for the harsh conditions. Recent climatic changes have presented extreme design with an even greater impetus to address adaptability and mobility and it is a fact worth noting these fascinating buildings have gradually grown more and more capable of providing their inhabitants with comfort, protection from the elements and therefore: further possibilities to study the polar regions.
