Popis: The history of building construction at Syowa Station of Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) was surveyed and the present condition of these buildings was discussed. It was pointed out that the living quarters consisting of the oldest buildings should be improved as early as possible. Design-conditions of the building at Syowa Station which were concerned with transportation, climate and construction in polar regions were arranged. The development and improvement of the building-prefabrication system at Syowa Station were reviewed. The design concept and the outline of preliminary design of the new central building which was planned as the first work of the reintegration project of Syowa Station were explained. Fire-preventive design and new wooden structural system with large-scale laminated timber were marked in the design. And future of the polar buildings was discussed.
