The Polytechnic University has taken on a serious project — the Institute of Civil Engineering of SPbPU is thinking about how to build quickly and efficiently in the Arctic. A research group led by associate professors of the Higher School of Design and Architecture of the Institute of Civil Engineering Elena Ladik and Maria Drebezgova is developing a concept for modular structures that can be quickly assembled in the harsh conditions of the Arctic. The work takes into account the complexities of the Arctic climate and the need to build facilities in a short time — this is an important condition for the successful development of the region.
The development of the polytechnicians is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Arctic region. The relevance of the project is that it helps solve several problems at once, such as the development of natural resources, the development of infrastructure in hard-to-reach places, environmental protection and the creation of normal living conditions for people.
Last year, the research team investigated the development potential of northern territories, studied foreign and domestic experience in designing modular architecture and developed a concept for quickly erected residential, public and laboratory modules adapted to extreme climatic conditions. The results of the study were presented at all-Russian forums and conferences, where they received high praise from the expert community.
Next year, scientists plan to apply their developments in pilot projects. Research will continue, now with an emphasis on modeling the engineering systems of territories, refining design calculations and selecting optimal building materials for the Far North. A multidisciplinary approach will allow the project to be implemented more quickly.
Modular buildings are a real find for the Arctic. They are easy to move from place to place, save energy, are made of modern materials that retain heat well and are not afraid of harsh weather. Perhaps it is modular architecture that will become a key direction in the Arctic construction industry.
“The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the results in assessing prefabricated block modules, developing architectural solutions in design practice for residential and research stations in the Arctic regions, as well as in developing recommendations for their further use based on the developed principles,” said project manager and associate professor at the Civil Engineering Institute Elena Ladik.
