Dancing buildings

A city built on permafrost is a living organism dancing on the edge. A metamorphosis and symbiosis of nature and the urban environment — an interaction unfolding through time and space. Houses on stilts become symbols of ingenuity, fragile strength, and persistence. Just as human life adapts to external forces, the surrounding environment bends and shifts, and in this shared dance a reality emerges that belongs to all of us. Buildings scanned with LiDAR in different parts of the city merge into a single choreographic image — ghostly and malleable. They transform slowly, responding to the movement of the frozen ground beneath them.
The city does not resist nature; it lives with it, in the rhythm of transformations.
