In the era of the Anthropocene, it's urgent to shift our collective attention southward. Antarctica, a continent that accounts for 10% of Planet Earth and 70% of the world's fresh water, represents at once the repository of planetary data essential to produce reliable climate change projections, and the biggest threat to all coastal sites. On the 200th anniversary of the discovery of Antarctica, 'Antarctic Resolution' offers a high-resolution image of the hyper-surveilled yet neglected continent and instigates a decisive resolution towards a supra-national governance model. Advocating for true trans-national and cross-disciplinary collaboration, 'Antarctic Resolution' brings together, for the first time in Antarctic bibliography, international experts and practitioners in the fields of science, architecture, engineering, history, political science, law, anthropology, literature, art and technology. The holistic agenda of Antarctic Resolution, which includes dedicated chapters on the role of science and politics in the continent, culminates in the first 'Declassified Archive of Antarctic Architecture.' Revealing the unique evolution of inhabitation models and architectural typologies in the extreme (from the first Antarctic hut to advanced contemporary structures), the Archive questions the motives that led to an unexpected architectural redundancy on the continent. Developed by UNLESS, a not-for-profit organization which mobilizes architecture as an agency for territorial investigation, Antarctic Resolution juxtaposes academic content with highly visual information. Alongside archival and contemporary photography, the book is dense with drawings, diagrams and cartographies produced by the global network of the Polar Lab. Resisting the temptation of imposing a conclusive narrative, the publication structure offers knowledge in the form of fragments-- flashes that shed light in a continent that lies in the dark for six months each year.

Hardcover. Condición: new. 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. . Exhibition in Venice, Italy: Antarctic Pavilion, Biennale Architettura 2020, 05/23/202011/29/2020. 1255 illustrations This first cross-disciplinary book on Antarctica vividly illustrates the urgency of governing the continent as a Global Common.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Accounting for approximately 10 % of the land mass of Planet Earth, the Antarctic is a Global Commons we collectively neglect. Far from being a pristine natural landscape, the continent is a contested territory which conceals resources that might prove irresistible in a world with everincreasing population growth. The 26 quadrillion tons of ice accumulated on its bedrock, equivalent to around 70 % of the fresh water on our planet, represent at once the most significant repository of scientific data available, providing crucial information for future environmental policies, and the greatest menace to global coastal settlements threatened by the rise in sea levels induced by anthropogenic global warming.'Antarctic Resolution' advocates the rejection of the pixelated view of Antarctica offered to us by Big Data companies and urges the construction of a high-resolution image focusing on the continent's unique geography, unparalleled scientific potential, contemporary geopolitical significance, experimental governance system, and extreme inhabitation model. Only the concerted determination of a transnational network of multidisciplinary polar experts - represented here in the form of authored texts, photographic essays, and data-based visual portfolios - could construct such an image and reveal the intricate web of growing economic and strategic interests, tensions, and international rivalries, which are enveloped in darkness, as is the continent for six months of the year. Learning from Antarctica's spirit of cooperation, 'Antarctic Resolution' aspires to launch a platform, an agency for change, where citizens can undertake a true Antarctic resolution and engage in a unanimous effort - independent of nation - to shape the future of the Antarctic and, in turn, of our planet.; Im Zeitalter des Anthropozän ist es zwingend, unsere Aufmerksamkeit nach Süden zu richten: aufdie Antarktis. Sie ist ein Kontinent, der nur 10% der Erdoberfläche ausmacht, aber 70% des Süsswassers der Welt speichert. Einerseits eine wesentliche Datenquelle für zuverlässige Prognosen desKlimawandels, ist sie andererseits die grösste Bedrohung für alle Küstengebiete.Zum 200. Jahrestag der Entdeckung des Südpols erscheint mit Antarctic Resolution eine Publikation, die ein hochauflösendes Bild des hyper-überwachten, aber zugleich vernachlässigten Kontinents bietet. Eine Resolution, die sich für eine echte transnationale und interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit einsetzt, bringt zum ersten Mal in der antarktischen Bibliographie internationale Experten und Praktikeraus den Bereichen Wissenschaft, Architektur, Ingenieurwesen, Geschichte, Politikwissenschaft,Recht, Anthropologie, Literatur, Kunst und Technologie zusammen.Die ganzheitliche Agenda von Antarctic Resolution gipfelt im ersten umfassenden Archiv antarktischer Architektur. Es enthüllt die einzigartige Entwicklung von Wohn- und Architekturtypologien unter extremen Bedingungen: von der allerersten Hütte, die jemals auf dem Kontinent gebaut wurde, bis hin zu hochentwickelten zeitgenössischen Bauten. Zudem stellt es die Beweggründe in Frage, die zu einer unerwarteten architektonischen Redundanz auf dem Kontinent geführt haben.Entwickelt von der gemeinnützigen Organisation UNLESS, die Architektur als Prämisse für territoriale Untersuchungen sieht, stellt Antarctic Resolution akademische Inhalte und visuelle Informationen einander gegenüber. Neben archivarischer und zeitgenössischer Fotografie beinhaltet das Buch auch Zeichnungen, Diagramme und Kartografien aus dem globalen Netzwerk des Polar Labors. Das Buch erzählt kein abschliessendes Narrativ. Vielmehr bietet es fundierte Erkenntnisse in fragmentarischer Form - Blitze, die einen Kontinent erhellen, der jährlich sechs Monate lang in Dunkelheit gehüllt ist.Mithilfe dieser interdisziplinären, interkulturellen Untersuchungen präsentieren die Gestalter geeignete und differenzierte Lösungen für die globale Kommunikation.
