Designing and building polar research stations in Antarctica
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- Shackleton is joined by polar architect Hugh Broughton, a man whose most recent projects include a gold inflatable house for Mars. It’s his first extra-terrestrial commission, but it seems only appropriate for an architect who for almost two decades has carved out a fine reputation for designing buildings for extreme environments. Right now his projects there include the Australian Davis Research station, the modernisation of the British Rothera Research Station, and the redevelopment of the Scott Base for Antarctic New Zealand. His buildings are as visually striking as they are brilliant in terms of engineering and structure.

I can't help but say the obvious... It's incredible that we have access to interesting videos like this in UA-cam. Thank you!
The lights on the alarm clock are one of my personal favorite tricks. I got wifi bulbs (lifx brand) set them to fade on over like 30 min. Way easier to wake up this way than harsh alarm
Good idea
Thank you for this presentation , now in my 80's and retired from architecture I remember seeing all the proposals at the RIBA and does not seem
so long.
Amazing accomplishment. Other-worldly, yet brilliantly practical and efficient. Thanks for sharing!
Halley 6 is a cool design. What I'd add: I would have a semi-circular loop connecting the front and back modules. The entire purpose of this addition would be mental health:
-gardening and plants
-some limited animal life, such as laying chickens, aquariums, and so on
-a different place to walk, or sit, or just be away from the "main" area
I realize the enormity of the expense to build, ship, and maintain such an addition.
Excellent 👏 thank you for the initiative, I really enjoyed the series.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Job, was a really interesting video. I wish I could work on building one of those buildings. It is fascinating, like working on another planet!
So cool! I was an IT Designer for the USAP for just over a decade and I've been to all of the US bases and spent a good amount of time at Scott Base. They were talking about a rebuild even back in the early 2000's. Great to see them pressing forward. I'd also fell in love with NZ and glad to see some elements from the islands being worked in.
IN JANUARI ALSO SO COLT I NEED HELP FOR MAKE ONE UFO FREE FOR USE AND TAKE INFO FOR SIR ELON MUSK OUT THIS UFO ONE TRIBUTE FOR SIR ELON MUSK IN CASE SIR MUSK MAKE SAME LIF ON MARS ]BOSS OF TESLA AND SDPAXE X
An inner antidiluvian city found overthere by CHILE EXPLORERS:: is a forbiden zone now Even erased of the map toked by our noth Friends kikin out everybody from that area is exclusive For them
I love this types of work... I hope you could create more of these. Kudos!
Great stuff, although as a Canadian who has retired to Jamaica, I'd rather be here than Antarctica. Penguins can't make up for all the snow and frostbite. I still remember the whiteouts on Highway 24 from Toronto to Collingwood - I seriously feared for my life at times.
On the Australian one do an enclosed sky bridge between the two red areas having a nice elevated visual view with room area at the middle for a few tables or lounge chair.
@Shackleton for some power are there any wind mills in use there .? of course specialized ones like squirrel cage design at the end of a long air in Duct.
Great show! God bless.
I would love to have worked on that ...id spend the rest of my working days in Antarctica...even if it ment stopping in an igloo❤
Architect are amazing. Thinking toilets and making it work out there. Water would freeze
Good presentation - i was searching about mars analogue simulations and the Antarctic stations seemed so very similar to the kind of situation a mars mission would endure as the weather is so hostile and the isolation and duration of the winter has similarities to being on mars for a long time as well.
There are differences like mars does not suffer from snow fall or high wind forces but has to be pressurised and provide oxygen.
Otherwise the sizes of these bases are very similar to what a SpaceX starship would provide on the surface of mars and the crew size would also be similar with 10+ people so a great deal of similarity in number of people and size of area they have to live in.
Each Starship if it had the propellant tanks converted into habitat space would have around 2000m^3 of habitable volume so around the same volume as the Concordia buildings or the Halle base though the starship would be about 16 floors high instead of wide and flat.
It was good to see the architect acknowledge the similarity to a mars base and answer a few questions about that.
In 2025 the Spacex Starship HLS will take NASA astronauts to the moon's surface again. This decade we may even have a long term manned moon base and manned mars base as well as Antarctic bases.
If the Starship interior can be furnished and laid out in such nice ways as these Antarctic base camps it seems like living on mars would be reasonably comfortable and a rewarding experience for those who choose to go.
great
An old time English Engineer, 77. One would have some worries I'm sure about the temperature difference between South Africa and -60C. Hydraulics especially must have been a great concern. I would imagine the sealing arrangement was quite exotic. I'm a bit behind times now on things, but surely the hydraulic oil must be like Tate and Lyle's Golden Syrup. I am not criticizing, far from it. Our country is not as it once was thanks to a certain countries gold, money and land grab during the war. Skint before the war, the richest afterwards. Sorry about that bit, but it does get up my nose.
IT IS BOTTLE OF RAKIJA balkan drink ahahahaha very strong
If you put on a pair of red tinted sunglasses you could imagine it was Mars.

The ozone hole is a natural formation, caused by magnetic field and associated current flow. Not caused by people, sorry.
Riiiight - that's why it increased and decreased with the rate of CFC release
She who has no clue.
Correlation is not proof. CFCs were mostly in north hemi. No AirCons in antarctic. @@williamchamberlain2263
I'm sure you will be submitting a petition to withdraw the Nobel Prizes awarded to Mario Molina, Paul J. Crutzen and F. Sherwood Rowland.🤣
Yeah, maybe pairing a bar with a climbing wall was not the greatest of ideas, especially with limited medical facilities.
I think it's a great idea tbf....
Thx ,,,God for such weather💨💨💨 👍👍 get the hell out from there.... It's zero 0⃣ benefice to ant human from that...💨💨💨💨💨💨
no one is building anything in Antartica
