"My hut in Canada"...
Par Vaness dans ARCHITECTURE & SCENOGRAPHY le 18 Mai 2011 à 06:00Because it's spring in the Northern hemisphere and I've been missing freezing and snowing weather and winter way of living since I left Denmark, let me tell you a few words about this iceskating winter Shelter in Winnipeg, Canada.
True, not anyone is able to understand the interest of such a shelter. Just imagine how it feels when the temperature is a low -20°, you're outside enjoying some winter sport on a frozen river, and the wind arises. See? Being able to stay seated while being protected from the chilling wind is a great relief.
And if not for appreciating the protection while iceskating, you can still appreciate the architecture and how it fits to the surrounding environment. As it's middle of a frozen river, I'm wondering what the shelter becomes when ice is melting down...A shelter to protect from burning sun?
Congrats to Canadian Patkau Architects for their fairytale shelter so in line with Canada and the respect for nature there! Should fit other countries abroad.
