DESCRIPTION:Anthropology has described Naturalism as a dualistic perceptio
 n of the world based on the idea of a cultural world produced entirely by 
 human beings and a preexistent natural world inhabited mainly by non-human
  beings. By the 18th century\, this western cosmovision\, based on the ide
 a of culture and nature as mutually exclusive\, arrived in most territorie
 s around the globe\, including Antarctica. By the 20th century\, this pers
 pective was extended and universally accepted. \nModern architecture perme
 ated by this dualistic perspective worked as a dissemination device of Nat
 uralism globally. The arrival of Modern architecture in Antarctica meant t
 he rise of a specific relationship between humans and nature. Architectura
 l designs\, techniques\, and materialities suggest how the environment is 
 perceived\, ranging from shelter architecture based on the idea of nature 
 as a wild and unpredictable phenomenon to contemporary sustainable archite
 cture built on the notion of nature as a fragile and perishable element. T
 his lecture will explore the spectrum of nature-culture relationships thro
 ugh the analysis of antarctic architecture.
