Broughton back in the Antarctic
The research station will be constructed from modular fibre-reinforced plastic monocoque rings
London-based Hugh Broughton Architects and engineer Faber Maunsell have won their second Antarctic project – this time for the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
The Juan Carlos 1, which follows Broughton and Faber Maunsell's Halley VI Research Station for the British Antarctic Survey (AJ 29.11.08), will be a summer-only research station in the South Shetland Islands.
