Design & Structure
Conceptual designs focus on 'biomorphisme'—creating structures that can withstand and integrate with the shifting permafrost.
Self-healing polymers and reinforced composite shells designed for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
The proposed structures are 'crustaceous'—bio-mechanical life forms that move with the freezing and thawing of the ground.
