2-B-2 architecture: arctic mobile unit



2-B-2 architecture's andrey bondarenko has designed the arctic mobile unit which accommodates
life support for 3 people - who are researching in the north pole and arctic - for a duration of
15 days, operating between -40 to +10C and withstanding winds of up to 85 km/h.
it is comprised of module parts which make up a washroom, work / rest area, galley and power
engine-generator. the arctic mobile unit is equipped with a solar battery, 5kW power generator
and snow melter and is built from a steel frame, carbon panels and polyethylene, thermo-insulating
membranes. overall, it weights 1500 kg and measures 2000 x 1600 x 2300mm making it
relatively easy to transport from location to location.

Nice minimalist design. Great images. Very reminiscent of "The New Domestic Landscape" show at MOMA back in the mid 70s highlighting Italian design.

Isn't it dark at the poles like 75% of the time? What use would solar panels be. And it says relatively easy to move yet was designed without wheels or skis?

depends on which way the planet's tilting relative to the sunny sun--- half the year it'd be light a bunch of the time.

put 3 sweaty people in there w/ a bunch of gear and I'm pretty sure I'm not signing up for the trip.

is it not possible to be minimalist and ergonomic?

when it's cold outside, I like my cozy space.
