We’ve already introduced you to the Danish Pavilion exhibition Possible Greenland, on display at the 2012 Venice Biennale, featuring possibilities that lay in store for Greenland in light of geographic changes caused by the increased rate of ice and snow melt. Henning Larsen Architects has now shared with us their portion of the exhibit, Greenland Migrating, a project developed in collaboration with David Garcia Studio and KITAA Architects. Curating the exhibit are Danish-Greenlandic Professor in geology Minik Rosing and Copenhagen-based NORD Architects.

Join us after the break for a closer look at the project.

Drawing from the cultural heritage of “interconnectedness” that is a large part of Greenland’s history and survival,  the architects propose a series of programs that functionally and politically inspire migration to Greenland.  It is an effort consistent with the proposals of Possible Greenland which projects that melting glacial will expose natural resources that will require a larger workforce and new urban developments.
