The concept for the Gehry Partners' warming hut is an abstracted igloo comprising chiseled blocks of ice, stacked and composed in a sculpturally casual way. The interior space, intended to contrast the exterior, provides a sense a warmth through the use of a Douglas Fir timber structure, timber benches as well as a central fire pit.

Wind Catcher, by Tina Soli and Luca Roncoroni, Norway. Wind Catcher is a simple (furniture-like) structure, a 'hole in the wall.' Our goal is to create a playful architecture, an object that stimulates curiosity, desire to interact and to discover.

Wind Catcher: The 'hole in the wall' itself is also a toy/play-element, a photo opportunity framing people and landscape, a resting spot; with the swings hanging from the ceiling, this hut is a perfect entertainment area for the whole family. Strong colors emphasize the shapes and their functions, in contrast with the surrounding landscape.

Ice Pillows, by Mjovàlk Team, Czech Republic. Our idea of a resting space for ice skaters extends the provision of mere shelter. Instead of adding a new structure to the landscape, the landscape itself is transformed into shapes that offer shelter.

Ice Pillows: The snow forms generated can serve as an exciting extension to the skating track. They can be climbed up and slid down, they have inner space to hide. The bubbles are made by the aid of a bug-like creature. It settles down on the ice, perforates it and begins to pump up the icy river water to spray it over its bubbly extension.The extension is an air-filled silicone balloon. The ice water will freeze and coat the silicone bubble. If the ice coat thickens enough, the balloon will be emptied and removed from under the ice sculpture to be used to create the next ice bubble.

Rope Pavilion, by Kevin Erickson and Allison Warren, New York, NY, Through the combination of simple materials, Rope Pavilion creates a highly articulated form and space while nestling itself into the Assiniboine River Trail's Landscape. Its relationship of skin (manila rope) and structure (birch frame), merge to form a warming hut whose dense shell blocks winter winds while still being perforated for light and views.

Rope Pavilion: The wood interior creates a sense of warmth through color and texture and its multi-layered rope exterior collects snow, further embedding it within the site. The hut's dome-like form is optimized for heat retention, bifurcating only for an entry threshold and oculus to the sky above.

Hothut: Marianette Aguirre, Eduardo Aquino, Miguel Barragan, Mallory Briggs, Erin Crawley, April David, Jeff Del Bueno, Paul Dolick, Lori Fossum, Jonathan Granke, Calee Gushuliak, Taylor Hammond, Bethany Hicks, Nicole Hunt, Mackenzie Loewen, Karen Shanski, Matthew Trendotta, Tracey Umali, Mark Van Dorp, Gordon Yiu, Souk Xoumphonpackdy. Charged with the task of designing a space that is warm, low-cost and of a limited size, we propose a warming hut made entirely of foam.
