Based on the defensive landscape after the glacier reappears when global warming leads to the ice age in the context of the Anthropocene
This project is based on a 10,000-year speculative landscape succession of the foreland site in Iceland, which is facing melting glaciers, in the conceptual context of the acceleration of the next ice age due to global warming in the Anthropocene.
The project site was chosen in the Kalfafellsstadur canyon because it is relatively closest to the period of ecological succession following the loss of glaciers. The project's speculation is based on the landscape hypothesis "New Ice Age", and it is speculated that global warming will melt the glaciers at the two poles and block the warm currents in the northern and southern hemispheres, thereby promoting the arrival of the Ice Age. The project will face the current unscrupulous global warming and the future "re-glaciated" stage for the future construction of a human settlement & refuge & human gene storage station & ice age seeding plan under the glacier.
After constructing the speculative succession under the deep time span from the present to the coming ice age, the project proposes a symbiotic defensive landscape of man and nature, and the functional zoning within the project based on the topography and advantages of different regions. The project speculates on the order of human existence in the new century, including productivity, energy acquisition, ecological self-circulation and global political status.
