Tellart together with Snøhetta, has designed a visitor center for arctic preservation storage.
This new building will host exhibitions in which audiences can discover conservation solutions that are being developed within the arctic circle. Located in Svalbard, is home to the world’s largest secure seed storage and the arctic world archive, making the modest landmass extremely valuable for future generations.
​
In the first section, visitors learned about the efforts made to ensure that our digital memory is made available for future generations, exploring the various kinds of data being stored in the Arctic World Archive, like the genome sequence of a 130,000-year-old polar bear that once lived in Svalbard.
The second section of the building, is an immersive 360° film experience. Visitors can explore the vast history of the archipelago.
