Project in Norway by Margot Krasojevic

The Arctic Research Centre
Design: Margot Krasojevic

The Arctic research center is a mobile structure on hydraulic legs,
which allows for the 3 main sections to dismantle and reorganize themselves
accordingly. The work and living quarters are on skis pulled along
by snow tractors and snowmobiles. The sides and part of the roof are
covered in a carbon fibre and Silicium lattice frame, which traps
light energy using photovoltaic glass panels.

Electric current is forced through the electrical resistance wire
embedded within the carbon fibre façade lattice frame, creating
heat energy then cooling it for an icy surface to from within the
frame allowing snow to build up that acts as insulation to the center
similar to an igloo.
