在这颗星球上的某些地方，自然对人体并不友好。在这些地方建造建筑，就如同建造一件衣服，为人们提供温暖和舒适。这个问题与技术有关，但也必须与美学相结合。若想带给人良好的感受，不仅要提供安全舒适的环境，也与空间形态的尺度和象征意义有关。Comandante Ferraz南极站是巴西在南极洲的新家。它是一个避难所，也是一个安全港。在这里，人们聚集在一起，研究新的科学知识。
In certain places on the planet, nature sometimes creates adverse conditions for the human body. In these places, thinking about a building is almost like building a garment, an artifact that protects and comforts. This is a technological performance problem, but it must be combined with aesthetics. Making human beings feel good is more than working on the notions of comfort and safety, it is also working on spaces in their symbolic and perceptual dimensions. A shelter, a safe place. Brazil’s new home in Antarctica. A place of protection and gathering of people for the production of scientific knowledge. Thus, the task of designing the new Antarctic Station Comandante Ferraz is faced.

2012年发生了一场火灾，留下了一片空地，新建筑将在这里落地。它代表了巴西在南极洲与国际社会一同为科学做出的贡献，也为巴西建筑师和国内行业的技术发展提供了机会。
The void left by the fire that occurred in 2012 bears symbolism on the importance of this new construction; it represents the Brazilian presence in Antarctica as a possibility for scientific contribution together with the international community. It also represents an opportunity for technological development for Brazilian architecture and for national industry.

另一方面，在设计的过程中，建筑师逐渐了解到了人类生命的脆弱，并且学会了如何在极端条件下解决构造、功能以及传感等问题。设计必须尊重自然，并且面临着许多实际建造以外的挑战，因此每一项决策都要经过反复斟酌方可实行。
On the other hand, the design process leads us to gradually understand the fragility of human life and how to act to solve constructive, functional and sensory problems. In this sense, decisions are made carefully, as it is necessary to respect nature and understand that there are challenges to be overcome before reaching the constructed building.

Ferraz南极站的设计起于对当地地理环境的演绎。在建造时，需要考虑许多问题，包括Keller半岛的地形，周边动植物生存区的保护，等等。设计还遵循了环境使用分区的要求，以将对自然的影响最小化。
The present proposal for Ferraz Station starts from the interpretation of the territory and the geographical conditions of the region. Therefore, the implementation of the proposed buildings takes into account the topography of the Keller Peninsula and the need to preserve the surrounding animal and plant life areas, among other factors. Several conditions provided for by the Environmental Use Zoning are respected in order to minimize impacts on nature.

功能部门被分别设置在不同的体块中。9.1米标高的上层空间设有住宅和木屋，服务区以及生活就餐区；5.95米标高处为实验室和操作维护区；由同样体块形成的车库和中央储存室位于2.5米标高的空间中。
The functional sectors are organized in blocks that distribute the uses. The upper block, on the +9.10 level, houses the cabins, service areas and the dining / living area. In the lower block, at level +5.95, the laboratories and the areas of operation and maintenance were incorporated. This same block houses the garages and the central storeroom, located on the +2.50 level.

5.95米标高处还设置有一个横向体块，为举办宴会和社交活动使用，设有影像播放室，会议室，图书馆和起居室等。建筑北面安装有天阳能光电板，西南部则设置垂直轴风力涡轮发电机。
A transversal block, also at the +5.95 level, brings together social and convivial uses. In this section are located the video / auditorium room, the lan house, the meeting / video conference room, the library, and the living room. The implementation is completed with photovoltaic panel plants in the north and VAWT wind turbines in the southwest.
