Including people in some of the shots helped provide scale and give an idea of the types of activities the building was designed fo... More

The snow was piled loosely into formwork where it sintered into a solid mass. Playing with the formwork, using our bodies to back off or lean in, we were able to create a geology of formations and textures.Entering the structure’s narrow opening, one felt the weight of its massive walls.
