Antarctic Expedition Huts - Scotts Discovery

Geometria conducted digital documentation work for Antarctica New Zealand Event K021, a scientific collaboration between conservation architects Archifact, the University of Minnesota, the University of Waikato, Bath University, Hong Kong University, and Western Cape University. Through this collaboration, researchers have been able to monitor deterioration of the huts over time, combining different methodologies such as laser scanning with scentific approaches in biology and chemistry. Geometria donated data from three Antarctic Expedition Huts to CyArk in 2010. Constructed on the last continent of human exploration, the Antarctic Exploration Huts are reminders of the significant physical and mental challenges early explorers endured throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries on the Antarctic continent. Ten different countries launched seventeen major expeditions throughout this time, and the huts provided enough shelter to make their stay in one of the coldest places on the planet manageable. Reflecting human ingenuity and drive during the age of exploration, these structures are a testament to the power of the unknown and what is possible when people are determined to understand it.

Geometria为新西兰南极活动K021开展了数字化建档工作，该项目是保护建筑师事务所Archifact、明尼苏达大学、怀卡托大学、巴斯大学、香港大学以及西开普大学之间的科学合作项目。通过此次合作，研究人员得以结合激光扫描等技术方法与生物学、化学领域的科学研究手段，长期追踪这些小屋随时间推移的劣化情况。Geometria于2010年将三座南极探险小屋（Antarctic Expedition Huts）的相关数据捐赠给了CyArk。作为人类探索最后一片大陆的见证，南极探险小屋承载了19世纪末至20世纪初早期探险家在南极大陆所经受的严峻身心挑战。在此期间，共有十个国家发起了十七次大型探险活动，这些小屋为探险队在地球最寒冷的区域之一驻留提供了充足的庇护，使得他们的科考驻留得以顺利开展。这些建筑彰显了探险时代人类的创造力与进取精神，印证了未知领域的无穷魅力，以及人类在决心探索未知时所能达成的非凡可能。项目外部链接：https://artsandculture.google.com/exhibit/8gJSJTXgzk_GLg 附加信息链接：https://cyark.org/projects/antarctic-expedition-huts
