Longyearbyen, Svalbard (the northernmost city of the world) is considered an island of paradox. The city wavers between ecological importance and geopolitical importance as a remote island of Norway that needs to be inhabited to secure the country’s sovereignty over the Svalbard archipelago. High avalanche risk in the main town, which is increasing due to by climate change, paired with strict environmental laws has created a housing shortage and put the city in limbo. This project aims to mitigate this contradictory situation through hyper-typologies: hybridised buildings that retain architectural essences of the past while adapting to new demands. The methodology employs machine learning material detection and binary codes with voxelisation referred to as ‘voxel-bashing’. The project speculates at a global scale on other contexts where the tension between profit-driven societies and environmental destruction has resulted in the recently dubbed phenomenon of ‘climigration’. The project responds by exploring how the decommissioning of building parts can be combined with nostalgic factors to create new architectural outcomes that lie somewhere between preservation, novelty, and the representation of place and identity.
