Abstract

Le site d'intervention se trouve à Longyearbyen sur l'île du Spitzberg, à moins de 1000 km du Pôle Nord, au-delà de la Norvège. Sa situation géographie éloignée, son climat rude, son accessibilité difficile due à la présence de la glace imposent d'importantes contraintes sur la construction. L'écologie et les réductions de pertes d'énergie sont des thèmes à ne pas négliger pour toute transformation ou nouvelle construction. La récupération et réutilisation de matériaux sont à considérer dans ce lieu où tout doit être importé. Actuellement, la ville ne connaît aucun lieu de rencontre, c'est pourquoi il est important de développer un site favorisant l'activité sociale et le partage culturel. Le projet propose la relocalisation des anciens logements de mineurs, actuellement trop éloignés du centre-ville, pour les réaffecter en lieux publics et en logements pour étudiants, professeurs et hôtes touristiques. Il favorise la création d'un vrai esprit de quartier dialoguant avec la nouvelle université polaire, la ville et la nature qui l'entourent.

Svalbard

Svalbard (ˈsvɑːlbɑːr , ˈsvɑ̂ːɫbɑr), also known as Spitsbergen or Spitzbergen, is a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. North of mainland Europe, it lies about midway between the northern coast of Norway and the North Pole. The islands of the group range from 74° to 81° north latitude, and from 10° to 35° east longitude. The largest island is Spitsbergen, followed in size by Nordaustlandet and Edgeøya. The largest settlement is Longyearbyen on the west coast of Spitsbergen.

Jan Mayen

Jan Mayen (jɑn ˈmɑ̀ɪən) is a Norwegian volcanic island in the Arctic Ocean with no permanent population. It is long (southwest-northeast) and in area, partly covered by glaciers (an area of around the Beerenberg volcano). It has two parts: larger northeast Nord-Jan and smaller Sør-Jan, linked by a wide isthmus. It lies northeast of Iceland (495 km [305 mi] NE of Kolbeinsey), east of central Greenland, and northwest of Vesterålen, Norway. The island is mountainous, the highest summit being the Beerenberg volcano in the north.

Imperial, royal and noble ranks

Traditional rank amongst European royalty, peers, and nobility is rooted in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Although they vary over time and among geographic regions (for example, one region's prince might be equal to another's grand duke), the following is a reasonably comprehensive list that provides information on both general ranks and specific differences. Distinction should be made between reigning (or formerly reigning) families and the nobility – the latter being a social class subject to and created by the former.
