Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Hardcover. The first ever book on the architecture of the world's southernmost continent. Simultaneously unpopulated and hyper-surveilled, both a wasteland and a major source of life, Antartica makes up 10% of the Earth's surface and provides 70% of the world's fresh water. Now more than ever, human beings must refocus their attention on the southernmost continent for its repository of planetary data in order to reliably predict the effects of climate change. This volume represents a transnational and cross-disciplinary effort to provide a complete picture of the continent with all the nuance it deserves. At the heart of the publication is the groundbreaking Declassified Archive of Antarctic Architecture, which records the evolution of architecture on the continent, from the first hut ever built by explorers to today's research bases constructed among the ice and snow. Featuring input from international experts and practitioners in the fields of science, architecture, engineering, history, political science, law, anthropology, literature, arts and fashion technology, Antarctic Resolution includes essays, archival and contemporary photography, and visual data in the forms of diagrams and cartographies. Resisting the temptation of a conclusive narrative, the publication instead offers information in the form of flashes, shedding light on a continent that lies in darkness for half the year. AUTHOR: Giulia Foscari is an architect, curator and author who has been practicing in Asia, South America and Europe. She is the founder of UNA, a Hamburg-based international architecture practice focused on cultural projects, and also of UNLESS. Foscari taught many years at the Architectural Association in London and is the co-director of Sagaponack, a book-centred cultural institution located in Hamburg. She won the DAM award for her book Elements of Venice. SELLING POINTS: . Antarctica, the only continent with no indigenous population, is the most challenging place in the world to build. Due to the unforgiving temperatures, fierce winds, and icy ground, the only structures found there are polar research stations. However, the few buildings that have been erected are ingenious feats of engineering. . A complete catalog of all buildings in Antarctica, the book demonstrates architecture in extreme conditions and how to survive there. Antarctic architecture is especially of interest, because of the effects of climate change and architecture's response. Alongside archival and contemporary photography, the book features drawings, diagrams and cartographies. .
