0WinnerOver the Edge. Arctic habitatThe main task of the architect when designing in extreme conditions is to achieve the most competent adaptation of the object to the environment. In this project of the Arctic settlement "over the edge", an experimental decision was made to place the object on a slope, which as a result allowed to create a lot of interesting solutions.
7Arctic SecondsThe world is changing in alarming rate,so we must change well-known standards of architecture. Arctic in addition to climat changes and warming happening twice as fast as the global average definitely expect new understanding of building-how can architecture provide more than a temperature controlled environment that allows surviving in such extreme condit
3Modular extreme habitatAn extreme habitat project is a pattern of repeating houses in a specific sequence. Development proceeds from the core and using the fractal method, with a set of several patterns, the centricity disappears due to the appearance of new cells. Difficult conditions and a small number of residents will leed to development of society with deep internal ties
211People's Choice AwardHabitatNowHelicom habitat responds to a number of problems defined by the climate and geographical location of Arctic.
3Arctic GardensA design concept of habitat within area of 800 m x 800 m, which is able to accommodate 1,000 people. The prototype habitat is able to house all the three elements of human life in it - Live, Work and Play.
1ARC ARCTICThe settlement will consist of a combination of sections in an arbitrary order. Sections completely protect the internal space from the external aggressive environment and provides all the necessary conditions for life. The sections themselves can exist separately and be self-sufficient due to the extraction of energy from the sun, wind and geothermal source
0SnowflakeThe source of shaping growing in all directions from the central element of the "habitat" was the shape of a snowflake, which is obtained during the growth of an ice crystal, due to the direct transition of water vapor into a solid phase, under conditions of crystallization in a snow cloud.
5Editor's ChoiceTHE SEAMHabitat is not designed as an object, but as part of the context. With the effect of global warming, glaciers also form large crevices. With the movable structure, the space settles between these slits and prevents the glaciers from separating from each other and freezes the water used to form insulation material on the wall and cools the glaciers.
0Modular district for 1000 people in the ArcticThe main idea of the project is the creation of a modular district with an artificial climate inside. Modules are an absolutely mobile unit. They can be disassembled, assembled, combined with each other, and also propagated into a large modular city.
2Modular arctic habitatModular arctic habitat- It is a proposal of full modularity of units providing life, play and work. Modularity has been divided into 4 stages: modules, units, configurations, habitats. Thanks to this solution, we accelerate construction with the possibility of expansion in every possible direction, while limiting environmental pollution to a minimum.
10Runner-upLIFE LINEThe "LINE OF LIFE" project represents a new environment - comfortable, unified and environmentally friendly. It is a living organism that grows, develops and gives new life! These are new opportunities to make the world a better place and take care of nature. BUT we have to do it together! This is our chance to fix it.
