Architecture Building of Halley Research Station In NA by Faber Maunsell and Hugh Broughton Architects

This is Architecture Building of Halley Research Station, where located in NA Antartika. It is a architecture building for the new British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Halley Research Station competition. The design by Faber Maunsell and Hugh Broughton Architects. The new modular station, elevated on ski-based jackable legs to avoid burial by snow, can be towed across the ice. The modules are simple to construct and can be re-arranged or relocated inland periodically as the ice shelf flows towards the sea. A central module packed with stimulating areas for recreation and relaxation is flanked by a series of modules designed to suit the changing needs of the science programmes. It features renewable energy sources and new environmental strategies for fuel, waste and material handling.
