Halley VI Research Station is the first fully re-locatable research
station in the world. It was commissioned in 2006 and its unique
and innovative structure was the result of an international design
competition in collaboration with the Royal Institute of British
Architects (RIBA). The research facility is segmented into eight
modules, each sitting atop ski-fitted, hydraulic legs that can be
individually raised to overcome snow accumulation, allowing the
module to be towed independently to a new location. Halley VI is
designed by London-based Hugh Broughton Architects and AECOM, a
global engineering design firm. The new book tells the story of
this exciting piece of architecture in an essay by Ruth Slavid.
Around 100 photographs, mostly in colour, plans and diagrams
document the various modules of the re-locatable station and its
present site. Captions offering comprehensive technical information
about the structure complement the images. Photographs are
contributed by British photographer James Morris, who has gained
much international recognition for his work in architectural and
landscape photography.
