Abstract
Denne afhandling undersøger, hvordan man kan designe bygninger til det arktiske klima i Vestgrønland. Den udvikler et design for et familierådgivningscenter i Uummannaq, som forholder sig til lokal kultur, landskab og terræn (topografi) samt klimaet. Arbejdet kombinerer en grundig analyse af stedet og grønlandske byggetraditioner med en gennemgang af arktiske byggemetoder. Beregninger af energiforbrug er integreret gennem hele processen, fra tidlige skitser til den endelige detaljering, for at informere designbeslutninger.
This thesis explores how to design buildings for the Arctic climate of West Greenland. It develops a design for a family counseling centre in Uummannaq that responds to local culture, the landscape and terrain (topography), and the climate. The work combines a careful study of the site and Greenlandic building traditions with a review of Arctic construction technologies. Calculations of energy use are integrated throughout, from early design sketches to final detailing, to inform design decisions.
