<div style="float:left;">Climate in the arctic is changing drastically.

<div style="float:left;">It is a fact that the world population will have almost doubled in number by 2050 and that over 85% of the people will be living in cities. Most of the world’s major cities, like e.g. New York or London, have already for the most part reached their horizontal boundaries – there is simply no more free land left to expand on. Since spreading in width is not really an option, the current trend in these cities is to grow in height wherever possible. These limits are constantly being pushed further in projects like the Burj Khalifa (828m), the Shanghai Tower (632m) or the One World Trade Center (541m). Where would this trend guide us? Is building higher and higher buildings the right answer for our future cities? What happens with the public space on street level? Is there any other option to guarantee accommodation for the estimated doubling of the future city population?

Instead of building unlimited high-rise buildings, what if one would start building into the ground? What if one would use the public spaces of cities to transform them into “invisible” buildings, which leave already existing free space to the public? These underground parts of the city could offer a new urban level; they could solve the problem of necessary accommodation. One could build these buildings without visually disturbing construction sites, one could build them according to natural principles and one could build them completely energy neutral to achieve a fully ecological architecture. An underground earthscraper would not need to resist high wind loads and it would not need high amounts of insulation. It would make use of e.g. geothermal energy or ground water. One of the biggest challenges though is the supply with essential daylight, which is needed to grow plants as well as for personal well-being. To achieve an equal or even better atmosphere, it will be necessary to make use of computational methods in planning and robotic fabrication during the construction process. Computational methods and simulations can help to provide a maximum of sunlight and to optimize the building's shape and structure.

In my opinion, all publich places which have a certain size can potentially be considered to build underground. But especially parks could be target locations.

Canada’s Arctic an Untapped Gold Mine … of Tourism!

With a declining mining industry, Canada is looking for new models of economy. Arctic eco tourism has already started growing over the last decade and is expected to grow even more rapid in future. This brings the chance of economic growth and employment. But it is also a dangerous situation for nature. Since the canadian north is to more than 98% untouched, uncontrolled growth of traditional building complexes must not destroy nature as is already did in the south.


Concept

The concept suggests to combine two aspects of canadian past with one of the future. The declared goal is not to destroy anymore nature by infrastructure of insensible buildings for tourism. The site of the Diavik Diamon Mine has been chosen for two things: First, to renaturalize the area by money made from tourism. Second, to build an invisible starting point for eco tourism in this area. THe huge holes, which have been the result of a process called open-pit-mining, are a perfect spot to implement a building on a site from which nature was already banished. Another main point is to use the old airfield as infrastructure for tourism. No additional streets need to be build.

Similar to this site, there are much more in Canada. It might be a strategy to connect them to a tourism network which offers different experieces in diferent sites. The following maps shows the 100 biggest open-pit mines in the country.

The chosen site is the area of the Diavik Diamon Mine in the Nortwestern Terretoies of Canada. This mine is estimated to stop production in 2025 to move some other place and start again. This site is strategically well positioned to establish eco tourism, because of two main reasons: First: It is almost in the middle between the arctic coast and the southern population boundaries.

robotic production

I see ahuge potential to use robotic (pre)fabrication with the material wood. Since there is no infrastructure available on site, it is necessary to produce all parts of the building in components which only need to ba assembled on site.
