Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, between Norway and the North Pole. The main island is used as a base for coal mining, research and education. Extraction of coal has been an important reason for settlement on Svalbard. Some places the coal industry has left, like in Pyrami-den, a small Russian mining town now abandoned.
The contradictions are striking; Longyearbyen, totally relying on coal as a power source, is one of the places where scientists and researchers are settled to study the increasing effects of the changing climate. When considering the current pressure to phase out, there is no reason to thinkthat this Norwegian industry of coalmining has a bright future at Svalbard.
When the coal industry withdraws from Longyearbyen, there will be many built structures left. Structures directly linked to the mining, infra-structure on land, harbor areas connected to sea cargo, as well as dwellings for the coal miners. These could have a different future than the stru-ctures in Pyramiden. The mining structures could provide Longyearbyen with a new type of energy, a breath of fresh air into one of the worlds northernmost settlements.

DIFFERENT SEED SAMPLES ARE DEPOSITED IN THE VAULT FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE (2013)
The seed vault is a completely unique and incredibly fascinating facility. Here the precautionary principle in practised in the best possible man-ner by providing long-term storage for future seed. Without seed we would be empty-handed and without the ability to produce food. The seeds frozen in the mountains of Svalbard may help to adapt our crops to changing climatic conditions and be an important key to global food security, Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, Minister of Agriculture and Food

N O WTHE IMPORTANCE OF THE COAL-MINING INDUSTRY
25 years ago the coal-mining sector dominated at Svalbard. At that time there were three major towns, Longyearbyen, Barentsburg and Pyramiden, with a total of about 1100 inhabitants in Longyearbyen and 2000 in Barentsburg and Pyramiden. Now Pyramiden is close to abandoned and the population in Barentsburg is around 500 people. In Longyearbyen the population has increased to around 2100 people. The very positive development in Longyearbyen has meant that the place today is a normalized Norwegian local community with schools, kindergartens, sports, hospitals, etc.
Coal mining is still the most important industry sector at Svalbard. Of the 1600 FTEs that were performed in Longyearbyen / Svea in 2012 400 are directly related to coal mining, 230 to accommodation / dining and cultural sector and 200 to research and education. Building and construction and transportation and storage are also significant with a total 310 posts, but rely on activities in basic sectors. If we include indirect Wemployment, the coal-mining sector aggregates approximately 600 FTEs.
Basis Sectors represents approximately 70% of the fixed employment in Longyearbyen. Within different industries many of the permanent employees commute. In addition there are many seasonal workers.
23
The Governor is the state`s supreme representative on Svalbard and also exercise police authority. After Svalbard Act 2 applies Norwegian civil law, criminal law and procedural law on Svalbard, unless otherwise specified by law. Svalbard is a part of Norway but has no municipality and is not part of a county, but there is a local government in Longyearbyen. Therefore Svalbard has no constituencies for city and parliamentary electi-ons, and voters must vote according to their affiliation on the mainland.
Svalbard has its own Tax and Tax Appeals Boards own elected by the local council. Taxation on Svalbard happens after the law of Svalbard Taxati-on. Collected taxes are only enough to support the local government. Svalbards revenues and expenses are budgeted seperately from mainland Norway.
Norway has a responsibility to preserve and respect the environment on Svalbard. Svalbard Treaty entails certain specified limitations for Norwegian exercise of authority, particularly Non - Discrimination. Every citizen or compa-ny of every nation under the treaty1 are allowed to become residents, fish, and hunt or undertake maritime, industrial or trade activity. Residents must respect Norwegian law.
Svalbard is declared a de- militarized zone. According to the Svalbard Treaty Article 9, Norway has committed itself not to create or allow naval bases or to construct any kind of military fortifications and Svalbard must not be used for warlike purposes. The provision only prevents the crea-tion of permanent bases. Norway is not precluded from defending its sovereignty over Svalbard.
1 Signature states of the treaty in 1925 was Norway, USA, United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Italy, Japan, Netherlands & Sweden. Later; Russia, Canada, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Iceland, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Finland, Estonia, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Monaco, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, India, China, Japan, New Zealand & Australia.

COAL, REASEARCH, TOURISM AND EVERYDAY LIFE
Today coal mining is one of three important sectors in Longyearbyen. Store Norske extracts coal from two mines: Mine 7 that is situated 15 kilometers outside Longyearbyen. Around 20 people have their workplace here, and the coal is transported to Longyearbyen Energiverk (Longyearbyen power plant), which in turn is delivering electricity and heat to Longyearbyen. Svea Nord is the largest mine, 60 kilometers west of Longyearbyen. 300 people work here. Employees commute to the site. Some live in Longyearbyen, but most live in Norway.
Research within natural science has long traditions in Svalbard. Today research plays an even more important role, mostly due to increased focus on climate. The University center in Svalbard was established in 1993. 350 students from around the world studies Arctic biology, Arctic geology, Arctic Geophysics and Arctic technology. Norwegian Polar Institute and the Svalbard Museum are housed in the same building. Tourism, service sector and the food industry are the third pillar of Longyearbyen economy.
Most of the residents are Norwegian, but 15 percent are foreign nationals. The largest group is the Thai population of 70 people (2007) There are people from Denmark, Sweden, Germany, USA, Brazil, Spain, the Netherlands, Finland, Greenland, Russia, England, Canada and the Philippines. In the university half of the students are foreign nationals.
What is the reason for people to settle in Longyearbyen today? There is low taxation and possibility for work with high wages. In an investigation of living conditions carried out in 2000 48 % of the persons asked said they moved to Svalbard for the adventure, and 41 % said that the main reason was the experience of living close to nature.

COLOURS DEFINING IDENTITY
In 1981 Grete Smedal was given the commission to make a colour scheme for the external facades of buildings in the entire town. The initiative came from the director of Store Norske Spitsbergen Kullkompani and was decided to happen gradually during ten years, as new buildings were made and old renovated. Painting the buildings was not done for any other reason than beatifying, as wood does not rot in Longyearbyen. The inhabitants well-being was the main goal for the project. Today it can be seen on the many row houses as well as on public buildings. The buil-dings define a common space and identity for the inhabitants as well as for Longyearbyen.
N E X TTHE LIQUIDATION OF THE COAL-MINING INDUSTRY
Longyearbyen will in the future be crucial in the development of Svalbard. To continue the positive development of society and be an attractive migration area, it is important to achieve a critical mass of people and commercial businesses. With higher number of inhabitants and still high percentage families, the society will be more robust because population and employment growth generates synergy that provide increased and extended operating basis for public and private service - which has a positive effect on living quality and the desire to live there.
The interest for the Arctic is increasing. Climate changes, tourism, geopolitics and research of natural resources are the main drivers. There is increased international interest in participating in research and commercial activity.In addition to Norwegians there are people from more than 40 countries on Svalbard and more than 50 % of students at UNIS are foreign.
Due to climate changes and climate politics coal mining on Svalbard is controversial. Future operations are also challenged by the low coal price recently, which has resulted in large deficits Store Norske. Combined with the need to open new mines that ensure continuity, this gives the company great challenges.

FUTURE SHIPPING ROUTES?
The Northwest Passage goes through the Arctic Ocean, along the northern coast of North America via waterways through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The islands of the archipelago are separated from one another and the Canadian mainland by a series of waterways collectively known as the Northwest Passages or North-western Passages. The Parliament of Canada renamed these waterways the Canadian Northwest Passage in 2009. It was first navigated by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen with a small expedi-tion of six men in 19031906. Arctic pack ice has previously prevented year-round shipping. Sovereignity claims over the waters may complicate future shipping as Canada considers the North-western Passages a part of Canadian internal waters. Some European coutries and the U.S claim they are international territory, and free passage should be allowed. The route`s viability as an Euro- Asian shipping route may be reduced, as it is claimed that part of the eastern end of the passage is only 15 meters deep.
The Northern Sea Route is defined by Russian legislation to stretch from the Kara Sea to the Pacific Ocean, running along the Russian Arctic co-ast. The entire route lies in Arctic waters and is ice-free inly two months a year. It connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, includes all East Arctic seas but does not include the Barents Sea. The Finnish-Swedish explorer Adolf Erik Nordenskiold made the first complete & confirmed passage in 1878. The route is today traversed by ships with ice-breaking capabilities, but is expected to become more accessible in the future due to climate change.
The Transpolar sea route (TSR) is expected to emerge as the predominant Arctic shipping route by 2030. Rapidly shrinking sea ice could open up a temporary routes where moderately ice strengthened ships can sail directly over the North pole, dramatically reducing travel time rom Asia to Europe. Even a moderate amount of warming will open up the arctic to traffic previously unimagined. In contrast to the Northeast Passage and Northwest Passage it avoids territorial waters and lies in international high seas. The Due to high seasonal variability of ice conditions throughout the entire Arctic basin, the TSR will not exist as one fixed shipping lane, but will follow a number of navigational routes. It passes outside the exclusive economic zones of Arctic states and is thus of geopolitical importance to countries looking to the Arctic for future economic revenue. The Chinese icebreaker Snow Dragon was one of the first major vessels to utilize the route during its 2012 journey through the Arctic Ocean.

We used to be able to take our snowmo-biles right across that fjord. Now we cant do that any more and we have to go the long way around. Kristin Grotting

S U S TA I N A B I L I T YSince 2007 UNIS (University in Svalbard) CO2 lab has led the drilling outside Longyearbyen to investigate the opportunity to store CO2 undergro-und. The drilling resulted in the discovery of shale gas (Nordlys 22.09)
The coal industry does not pay off economically anymore, and most are expecting Store Norske to put an end to the coal export from Svalbard (the company is considering the option of shale gas to continue operations on Svalbard) One of Norway`s two coal power plants is situated in Longyearbyen. In total the power plant in Barentsburg and the one in Longyearbyen has yearly emissions of 200.000 tons CO2, counting for about half of Svalbards emissions (2009). Coal is the most polluting of all fossil fuels.
Our project should:
a. The architecture will house one or more alternative industries. When the coalmining industry stops, new industries need to be strengt-hened to maintain the number of inhabitants and a healthy economy.
b. The climate and permafrost sets very different parameters for building than what we are used to. There is also a challenge in the tem-peratures in Longyearbyen, with an annual average of -6,7 oC and -16,2 oC in February. Minimize the heat loss; maximize solar exposure, simple shape, and limitation on windows.
c. As an alternative to build new structures, we will investigate the possibilities to re-use obsolete structures related to the coal industry. To strengthen the places identity, as well as keeping the carbon footprint as low as possible, re-use could be a good solution.
d. We want to investigate how massive wood can perform under the extreme conditions in the Artic. Because of the dry climate wood is a preferred material because of its properties and long life span.

S I T E V I S I TTHOUGHTS, WISHES, GOALS
When in Longyearbyen we will spend our time figuring out what the people whish for their city to become. What they feel has the potential of replacing the coal industry. We will ask people with political power, economic power and power of local knowledge.
What would you like your city to become, after the coal?Which industries are welcome and which are not?Could Longyearbyen be self-sustained in the future?
