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.
