| Svalbard Global Seed Vault |
Here is a link with updates and photos from the global seed vault that in December 2010 reached 500 000 seed samples!
Some call it the doomsday vault, since it is a protector of global biodiversity in a changing world vulnerable to natural disasters, war, lack of management and finance. In a more positive perspective it is at least a confirmation of insight into our human vulnerability and a legacy of will to try to think, plan and act for a future and future generations. The architecture itself is fascinating. For obvious reasons related to shape (and some more subtle meanings) I get a visual parallel to the monolithic symbolism in Stanley Cubrick's movie "2010".
