DESCRIPTION:Michael Wright\nHalley VI Lead Structural Engineer and Design 
 Project Manager\, AECOM\n\nThe current station at Halley is on a floating 
 ice shelf with an increased risk that it will break off as a giant iceberg
 . So the race is on to design and the build a new station on the right sid
 e of the calving line. \n\nThe British Antarctic Survey (BAS)\, launched a
 n architectural competition in June 2004 to select a design for the new st
 ation that must be able to lift itself out of the one metre of snow accumu
 lation that occurs each year\, and have the ability to relocate during its
  life.\n\nThat is the challenge. BAS thought the best way to understand co
 nditions there was to send one of the design team to experience this remar
 kable continent at first hand. This is the subject of my talk – the desi
 gn competition\, the trip to Antarctica and the winning design.\n
