Abstract

This project focuses on a study of building design in an arctic climate in West Greenland. The project aims for a design of a family counseling centre in Uummannaq that relates to the cultural, topological and climatic context. This aim is reached through a thorough analysis of the site and building tradition together with investigations of arctic building technologies in general. Calculations on the energy consumption are integrated in the process from the early design phase till the fi nal detailing.
