The space between aspiration and achievement an architectural exploration through an extreme environment

The underlying question of this thesis is concerned with the place of architecture in extreme environments. It is about designing a typology for living in a destabilized and uncertain environment. It is about designing the capability of living somewhere else. In its own right this thesis is an exploration in itself. An exploration of what is possible, and more so, what could be probable. It is a critical response to the question of how we might both construct and live in the near future.
