2016 Warming Huts - Arts + Architecture competition on ice
Конкурс “Warming Huts” по традиции предлагает дизайнерам со всего мира представить свои идеи «бытовок» для ледового катка в Виннипеге. Это должно быть небольшое временное сооружение, где посетители катка смогут согреться и отдохнуть. Общий бюджет постройки, включая гонорар дизайнеров – 16 500 канадских долларов. В этом году на конкурс принимаются также идеи по созданию арт-объектов, которые будут оцениваться отдельно.
Three winning teams will be selected in the WARMING HUTS COMPETITION from submissions of designs for a warming hut or art installation to be located on the Red River Mutual River Trail located on the Assiniboine and Red Rivers in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The jury will be selecting the winning designs based on their creativity in use of materials, providing shelter, poetics of assembly and form, integration with the landscape, and ease of construction.
The huts and installation will be placed along the Red River Mutual Trail following the final week of construction.
The final construction of the huts will take place at The Forks, Winnipeg, Manitoba (www.theforks.com). The Forks is located in downtown Winnipeg, at the junction of the Red River and the Assiniboine River. The intersection of the two rivers historically has made the area a popular meeting place for over 6,000 years. In recent times, the site has developed into a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.
In winter, the rivers also used as an alternate route to access downtown by foot, bike, skates and skis. There are opportunities for curling, hockey and much more. There are many access points onto the Red River Mutual Trail, making it a link between communities in Winnipeg. The Red River Mutual Trail is regularly groomed and monitored for any safety concerns. There will also be extra security at night in an attempt to prevent people from loitering or damaging the huts.
