Architecture cannot exist without its natural context, and thus should act not as an object in nature, but rather a means of negotiated the boundary between nature and the built environment. „Meeting Nature Halfway“ aims at an architecture sympathetic, linked and codependent on its context. It creates a host for invasive growth as a means of creating a new form of built condition.
Ice is a pervasive force in cold weather regions, and architecture often becomes the unwitting host for its growth. In this studio, ice will be studied not as an addition, but rather as a transformative building material. Successful projects will develop proposals for an architecture driven by the formation, control, and utilization of ice as a novel material.
