Architecture in Antarctica

Antarctica is the southernmost continent in the world. We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Antarctica Architecture. We aim to include Antarctic buildings / projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed Antarctica buildings, new building designs and architectural exhibitions. We also post architecture competitions across Antarctica.
