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. .

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines the origins and dynamical characteristics of atmospheric inertia-gravity waves in the Antarctic mesosphere. Gravity waves are relatively small-scale atmospheric waves with a restoring force of buoyancy that can transport momentum upward from the troposphere to the middle atmosphere. In previous studies, the dynamical characteristics of mesospheric gravity waves have not been fully examined using numerical simulations, since performing a numerical simulation with a high resolution and a high model-top requires considerable computational power. However, recent advances in computational capabilities have allowed us to perform numerical simulations using atmospheric general circulation models, which cover the troposphere to the mesosphere with a sufficiently fine horizontal resolution to resolve small-scale gravity waves.The book first describes the simulation of mesospheric gravity waves using a high-resolution non-hydrostatic atmospheric model with a high model top. The accuracy of the numerical results was confirmed by the first Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere/Incoherent Scattering (MST/IS) radar observation in the Antarctic.It also depicts the origins and propagation processes of mesospheric gravity waves on the basis of the results of the high-resolution numerical model. The behaviors of mesospheric gravity waves can be clearly explained using both fundamental and cutting-edge theories of fluid dynamics.…
