Extreme Environments - Architectural Possibilities for a Challenged World

This volume emerges from “Architecture and Extreme Environments”, a master’s programme at the Royal Danish Academy that aims to generate a positive impact on the issues our world faces today. Through a site-specific approach, the programme responds to present and future global challenges through research by design, fine-tuned and site-specific strategies, and active fieldwork in remote locations around the world. Architectural prototypes are put to the test to inform and innovate building design at home and abroad. The book compiles work by students and offers further reflection through a number of critical essays.
