Ten-year Comprehensive Survey of the International Warming Huts Competition Published by Dalhousie Architectural Press<\/h3>\r\n

D<\/span>alhousie Architectural Press<\/a> has published a ten-year comprehensive survey of the international Warming Huts competition<\/a>, \"Warming Huts: a decade + of art and architecture on ice\", complete with graphic analysis and critical writing. As the project enters its second decade, this book is a timely recognition of how far it has come - and how far it promises to go.\"adf-web-magazine-warming-huts-a-decade-of-art-and-architecture-on-ice-1\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

A decade of art and life<\/h4>\r\n

The book provides a colourful and detailed look at the Warming Huts, the annual mid-winter installation of art and architecture on the frozen rivers of Winnipeg, Canada.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The project has drawn contributors from around the world since its inauguration in 2010, when there were just five \u201chuts\u201d \u2013 each a collaboration between an architect and an artist. In 2011, the project was expanded into an international design competition; three winning huts are added annually, so that today\u00a0more than 30 huts<\/a>\u00a0are set up each year. Their presence has boosted healthy, active wintertime use of the icy rivers for pleasure\u00a0\u2013\u00a0and well-being.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The book includes every hut ever built. Besides competition winners, the project includes the work of invited visual artists like Patkau Architects, Frank Gehry Associates, Rojkind Arquitectos, Luca Roncoroni, and Anish Kapoor. It also includes huts and ice stages built with artists from other fields, including Inuk throat-singer, Tanya Tagaq, film-maker, Guy Maddin, Norwegian ice musician, Terje Isungset, and Canadian band, Royal Canoe. Huts by students from the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Manitoba (FAUM) and local high schools are also included in the book, as are the guerilla, or \u201crogue\u201d huts, which snuck their way into the exhibition over the years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

All of these structures are documented in the book in large, vivid photographs, texts, and process images\u00a0\u2013\u00a0 sketches, models, and photographs of construction. In all, there are close to 800 images across the 140 full-colour pages of this large-format book. Double-page maps show where the competition entries and built huts came from, and provide an analysis of entries by place of origin and timelines.\u00a0Thirty pages of images document the \u201ctaxonomies,\u201d an archive of five hundred of the competition entries organized thematically and formally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Reflection and recognition<\/h4>\r\n

The visual material is introduced through six chapters of critical writing, examining the huts from a variety of viewpoints \u2013 from their social significance, to their rightful place in Winnipeg\u2019s history, and in the landscape of international public art. Together with the many illustrations drawn from current events and historical research, these texts discuss the project as a critical body of work, while celebrating its contribution to the city and its international standing. The book foregrounds the poetics and politics of public space, and highlights the variety of architectural narratives expressed in the huts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The publication of\u00a0Warming Huts<\/i>\u00a0closely follows on the heels of a National Urban Design Award for Community Initiatives, won by the creators of the annual event: Sputnik Architecture Inc. and The Forks Renewal Corporation: \u201cA great example of community collaboration and creativity\u2026 The transformative impact that the Warming Huts program has had in converting Winnipeg\u2019s rivers into an active winter civic space is impressive \u2013 even more so given its humble volunteer-based roots\u2026 The program\u2019s scope is ambitious\u2014giving Winnipeg significant international exposure.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
