THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET DEPENDS ON THE FUTURE OF THE ANTARCTIC

There is a region we collectively forgot about. Its borders expand and retract each season, just as our lungs do when we breathe air in, and out. An imbalance between the two motions puts us in danger.

In Antarctica, the disparity between the rate of ice melting and iceberg formation is occurring six times more rapidly than it did four decades ago, threatening our fragile planetary stability.

Our understanding of our climate’s history, and therefore future, rests in the air concealed in Antartica’s ice. It provides the foundations on which environmental policies should be constructed.

PROMOTING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ANTARCTICA.

UNLESS is a not-for-profit organization devoted to interdisciplinary research on extreme environments threatened by the planetary crisis. In 2021 it launched Antarctic Resolution, a project co-authored by the world’s leading experts on the Antarctic, with the aim of producing the first holistic body of research on the continent. This is where the seed of 7506 was first planted.

As part of the Antarctic Resolution project D-Air Lab, the research and development laboratory behind 7506, was tasked with the challenge of rethinking the clothes worn by Antarctic scientists. After years of prototyping and testing carried out by a team of medical professionals, product designers, model makers, architects and engineers, the Antarctic suit was first tested at the Concordia Station. Location: 75°06S 123°20E.

  • The Antarctic Resolution, initiated by Giulia Foscari, aims to serve as a global platform enabling citizens worldwide to unite and shape the future of the Antarctic and of our planet.

  • The Antarctic Suit appearance at “How will we live together?”, the 17th international architecture exhibition curated by Hashim Sarkis at the Biennale of Venice.

  • #SpeakUpForAntarctica. Leading Antarctic scientists, scholars and conservation organizations are coming together to advocate for action to protect Antarctica, and in turn our planet, for future generations.
