introduction

Project synopsis

As newfound prospects accompanied by hospitable changes to climatic conditions make way for growing economic ambitions on the Barents Sea, so arises the urgency to provide proportionate measures of safety and support for the increased human presence and activity in this hostile environment.

This project focuses on the architectural development of an offshore Search and Rescue station on the Barents Sea, as well as the proposal for an accompanying communication and surveillance network, with the intention of providing a viable solution for areas of activity which cur- rently suffer from a lack of sufficient rescue service coverage.

The station would be capable of aeronautical and maritime rescue and recovery response. while providing supplies to extend the range and presence of patrol ships.

motive

life in extreme environments inhabiting the seas

Initial point of departure

Inhabiting the inhabitable Perception of a positive space

Challenging the perception of water as a negative / void space that divides in favour of something

applicable for habitation.

Exploring how to accomodate for the human need to venture into and inhabit harsh and inhospitable

frontier environments.

2008-2012

Remote surveillance and detection technologies (i.e., satellite communications, GPS availability, weather stations) are critical for establishing situational awareness for both preventive and response issues. This overall capability is limited in the Arctic due to a lack of coverage and the availability of real-time weather information.

arctic council amsa

evaluation

Limitations and deficiencies

remoteness climate communication

Long distances combined with limited Search and Rescue oriented infrastruc- ture leading to long response times in critical situations. Helicopters struggle with only a few hours of flight time and lack of refueling options.

Limited availability of real-time weather information. Critically low survival time once exposed to the sea. Harsh and debilitating conditions for rescue craft and vessels.

Services based on geostationary satel- lites are reduced when passing 72°N latitude and cannot be considered reli- able in areas above 75°N. Critical gaps in Arctic satellite coverage and commu- nication systems.
