Jang Bogo

摘要

Korea is becoming a very significant Antarctic research nation. Scheduled to open in 2014, the Jang Bogo Antarctic Research Station will be one of the largest year-round bases on the continent and will accommodate up to 60 personnel during the busy summer season. The station's unique aerodynamic triple-arm design will provide good resistance to all directions of wind, better spatial efficiency through short inter-facility access, and better energy efficiency through minimizing areas of the outer wall surface. The use of solar and wind renewable energy will contribute as much as 30% of the energy required.
