trying to design houses and buildings with innovative designs. Norwegian
JVA (Jarmund/Vigsnæs AS Architects) is behind this educational
institution in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Its the largest building on Svalbard and was completed in 2006.
The insulated copper-clad skin is wrapped around the program demanded, creating an outer shell adjusted to the flows of wind and snow passing
through the site. Climatic 3D simulations has been undertaken to assure that the accumulation of snow would not create undesired conditions in
front of doors and windows.
In the process, the skin has been flexible to adjustments, both geometrical changes answering to the climatic studies and alterations of program.
The building is elevated on poles to prevent the melting of the permanent frost - the only thing fixating the construction. The main structure is in
timber, to facilitate on-site adjustments and avoid cold bridges. The outer copper cladding retains its workability even at low temperatures,
thereby extending the construction period further into the cold season.
