Popis projektu

EN Annotation The aim of the project is to design a systemic building solution applicable in the extreme conditions of Antarctica. In the future it should help to support Czech research in this area. Specifically, it is a new form of the CZ*ECO Nelson station in Antarctica, which will consist of a main building with a capacity of 8 beds and a separate warehouse to house technical equipment. In addition to the polar research itself, it will also be used for testing new materials and technologies with possible applications, for example, in space programmes. The design emphasises modularity, the use of natural materials and sustainability. An energy concept is also included. Unlike the Antarctic interior, where temperatures are very low and humidity is low, the Nelson Island coastline is unique in its variable temperature, high humidity and strong gusty winds. It is the local conditions that are the main factors influencing the final station design. The wooden construction system is based on the WikiHouse modular principle and allows for prefabrication of individual parts, easy transportation and quick assembly on site. It consists of plywood frames, which perform the main load-bearing function, and modular boxes filled with thermal insulation. The design and implementation of the building is a collaboration between the Faculty of Architecture at Brno University of Technology, the Czech Antarctic Foundation and the Polar Research at Masaryk University. One of the outputs of the project will be a 1:1 prototype of the warehouse, on which the functionality of the design will be verified. This realization can further serve, for example, as a shelter in the mountains. Annotation The aim of this project is to design a prefabricated building system applicable in extreme conditions of Antarctica. The task in question is the remodeling of the polar station CZ*ECO Nelson located on the island of Nelson, which should help Czech on-site scientific research in the future. The station will consist of a main building with an 8 person capacity and a storage building for technical equipment. Aside from the polar research, new materials and technologies will be tested in the environment with the potential of future usage in other areas such as space programs. The proposal's emphasis is on modularity, usage of natural materials and sustainability. In contrast with inland Antarctica, where the temperatures are extremely low as well as air humidity, this location is specific for its very inter-changeable temperatures, high levels of humidity and strong gusty winds. Local conditions are one of the main factors crucial for the design form-finding. The wooden structural system is inspired by the WikiHouse building principles and allows digital prefabrication of individual building components, simple transport and quick on-site assembly. The system consists of several load-bearing plywood frames and modular boxes filled with insulation. The design and implementation of the structure is realized in cooperation among the Faculty of Architecture at BUT Brno, the Czech Antarctic Foundation and the polar research at the Masaryk University. A 1:1 prototype of the storage building will be made to test the functionality of the structure. This model prototype can also be used as a mountain cabin available to the public. CZ Anotace Cílem projektu je návrh systémového stavebního řešení využitelného v extrémních podmínkách Antarktidy. V budoucnu by měl pomoci podpořit Český výzkum v této oblasti. Konkrétně se jedná o novou podobu stanice CZ*ECO Nelson v Antarktidě, která se bude skládat z hlavní budovy o kapacitě 8 lůžek a samostatného skladu pro umístění technických zařízení. Kromě samotného polárního výzkumu zde bude probíhat i testování nových materiálů a technologií s možným uplatněním například ve vesmírných programech. V návrhu je kladen důraz na modularitu, použití přírodních materiálů a udržitelnost. Součástí je i energetický koncept. Na rozdíl od vnitrozemí Antarktidy, kde jsou velmi nízké teploty a nízká vlhkost vzduchu, je pobřeží ostrova Nelson unikátní proměnlivou teplotou, vysokou vlhkostí vzduchu a silnými nárazovými větry. Právě místní podmínky jsou hlavními činiteli ovlivňující výslednou podobu stanice. Dřevěný konstrukční systém vychází ze stavebnicového principu WikiHouse a umožňuje předpřípravu jednotlivých částí, snadný převoz a rychlou montáž na místě. Skládá se z překližkových rámů, které plní hlavní nosnou funkci, a modulárních boxů vyplněných tepelnou izolací. Návrh a realizace stavby probíhají ve spolupráci mezi Fakultou Architektury Brněnského VUT, Českým antarktickým nadační fondem a polárním výzkumem na Masarykově univerzitě. Jedním z výstupů projektu bude prototyp skladu 1:1, na kterém se ověří funkčnost návrhu. Tato realizace může dále sloužit například jako útulna v horách.
