THE NORDKAPP DUST RESEARCH STATION

by Sara Kosanovic

Initiated in the present day but built to ‘serve’ the future, the proposal predicts the highly possible prospect of increased dust storms from the Saharan Desert reaching Europe and the Arctic Circle. Situated in the northernmost city in Norway, Nordkapp, the proposal responds to these predicted changes and aims to provide a refuge and sheltered space for research, observation and scientific solutions.
The proposal aims to provide the Arctic regions with a means to survive and rebuild in a period that would deem the planet uninhabitable through the heightened production of particulate matter originating from the global increase in desertification.
