At Wired, Andrew Blum surveys the architecture of Antarctic research stations, which, as it includes buildings which have to be towed to remain at fixed geographic points, hydraulic lifts that raise buildings in reaction to snowfall, and architecturally-induced “subzero maelstroms”, reads like a photographic companion to the recently opened Archigram Archival Project.

fabric | rblg is the survey website of fabric | ch -- studio for architecture, interaction and research. We curate and re-blog articles, researches, exhibitions and projects that we notice during our everyday practice.
Most articles concern the intertwined fields of architecture, territory, art, interaction design and science. From time to time, we also publish here information about our own work and research. This website is used by fabric | ch as archive and references. Late 2009, we decided to share it openly with all those interested in the same topics as us.
The people that regularly post so far on this blog are part of the founding members of fabric | ch: Christian Babski (computer scientist), Christophe Guignard (architect, interaction designer) and Patrick Keller (architect, inter- action designer).
