Art statement by architect Peter Stasek
The Ark's 2025 project vision is the creation of an ultimate place with the mission of researching and archiving DNA data. The ark's crew consists of representatives of the worldwide scientific community, which has set itself the goal of using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) to explain disease pathology, to cure diseases, to reverse injuries and to offer targeted therapies to improve health outcomes. The master plan for the Arche project includes not only laboratories, conference rooms and lounges, but also an underground biobank. The high-quality cells and DNA are to be archived here, which can then form the basis of treatment for future therapy methods.
