Neuware - Accounting for approximately 10 % of the land mass of Planet Earth, the Antarctic is a Global Commons we collectively neglect. Far from being a pristine natural landscape, the continent is a contested territory which conceals resources that might prove irresistible in a world with everincreasing population growth. The 26 quadrillion tons of ice accumulated on its bedrock, equivalent to around 70 % of the fresh water on our planet, represent at once the most significant repository of scientific data available, providing crucial information for future environmental policies, and the greatest menace to global coastal settlements threatened by the rise in sea levels induced by anthropogenic global warming.'Antarctic Resolution' advocates the rejection of the pixelated view of Antarctica offered to us by Big Data companies and urges the construction of a high-resolution image focusing on the continent's unique geography, unparalleled scientific potential, contemporary geopolitical significance, experimental governance system, and extreme inhabitation model. Only the concerted determination of a transnational network of multidisciplinary polar experts - represented here in the form of authored texts, photographic essays, and data-based visual portfolios - could construct such an image and reveal the intricate web of growing economic and strategic interests, tensions, and international rivalries, which are enveloped in darkness, as is the continent for six months of the year. Learning from Antarctica's spirit of cooperation, 'Antarctic Resolution' aspires to launch a platform, an agency for change, where citizens can undertake a true Antarctic resolution and engage in a unanimous effort - independent of nation - to shape the future of the Antarctic and, in turn, of our planet.; Im Zeitalter des Anthropozän ist es zwingend, unsere Aufmerksamkeit nach Süden zu richten: aufdie Antarktis. Sie ist ein Kontinent, der nur 10% der Erdoberfläche ausmacht, aber 70% des Süsswassers der Welt speichert. Einerseits eine wesentliche Datenquelle für zuverlässige Prognosen desKlimawandels, ist sie andererseits die grösste Bedrohung für alle Küstengebiete.Zum 200. Jahrestag der Entdeckung des Südpols erscheint mit Antarctic Resolution eine Publikation, die ein hochauflösendes Bild des hyper-überwachten, aber zugleich vernachlässigten Kontinents bietet. Eine Resolution, die sich für eine echte transnationale und interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit einsetzt, bringt zum ersten Mal in der antarktischen Bibliographie internationale Experten und Praktikeraus den Bereichen Wissenschaft, Architektur, Ingenieurwesen, Geschichte, Politikwissenschaft,Recht, Anthropologie, Literatur, Kunst und Technologie zusammen.Die ganzheitliche Agenda von Antarctic Resolution gipfelt im ersten umfassenden Archiv antarktischer Architektur. Es enthüllt die einzigartige Entwicklung von Wohn- und Architekturtypologien unter extremen Bedingungen: von der allerersten Hütte, die jemals auf dem Kontinent gebaut wurde, bis hin zu hochentwickelten zeitgenössischen Bauten. Zudem stellt es die Beweggründe in Frage, die zu einer unerwarteten architektonischen Redundanz auf dem Kontinent geführt haben.Entwickelt von der gemeinnützigen Organisation UNLESS, die Architektur als Prämisse für territoriale Untersuchungen sieht, stellt Antarctic Resolution akademische Inhalte und visuelle Informationen einander gegenüber. Neben archivarischer und zeitgenössischer Fotografie beinhaltet das Buch auch Zeichnungen, Diagramme und Kartografien aus dem globalen Netzwerk des Polar Labors. Das Buch erzählt kein abschliessendes Narrativ. Vielmehr bietet es fundierte Erkenntnisse in fragmentarischer Form - Blitze, die einen Kontinent erhellen, der jährlich sechs Monate lang in Dunkelheit gehüllt ist.Mithilfe dieser interdisziplinären, interkulturellen Untersuchungen präsentieren die Gestalter geeignete und differenzierte Lösungen für die globale Kommunikation. Durch die Auseinandersetzung mit den Pro.…
