August 13, 2005 A futuristic design by Faber Maunsell and Hugh Broughton Architects has won the competition for the new British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Halley Research Station. The new station will ...

The Halley VI Research Station is a design feat straight out of science fiction: a massive train of modules for life at the South Pole.

The sixth station to be built, since it began research in 1956, by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Halley VI confronts the harsh conditions through an innovative design, the use of building ...

The Halley VI Antarctic Research Station, the first fully-relocatable research station, was designed by Hugh Broughton Architects with AECOM for British Antarctic Survey (BAS). The station's ...

Halley VI's construction has been documented extensively at this British Antarctic Survey blog, complete with hundreds of pictures.

Work on the design and build contract for Halley VI will now begin. The first phase of construction will commence in January 2007 with handover to the British Antarctic Survey in December.

So in 2004, the BAS solicited architecture firms to come up with a design that could solve all of their problems. The winner became Halley VI, a set of eight modules with hydraulic legs and skis.

Work on the design and build contract for Halley VI will now begin. The first phase of construction will commence in January 2007 with handover to the British Antarctic Survey in December 2008.

Halley VI, opened last year, is the first Antarctic research station to have the capacity to stand up and wander over to another spot on the ice to escape burial-by-snow ...

When Hugh Broughton Architects won a design competition for the Halley VI Antarctic research station, which officially opens today, the small London-based office had no experience working in extreme ...

The design, with its repetitive modules, uses fewer construction components, reducing the time needed to build Halley VI. An assembly line approach will be used to quickly build the modular units ...
