This 3-day workshop explores the world of structural ice shells, inspired by Swiss engineer and designer Heinz Isler (1926-2009). We will start by researching and designing ice/fabric forms and the methods for making them, and will then spend the second day building formwork and rigging systems. On the final day, we will construct a landscape of frozen structures on and around Krege Oval and share the work with friends and colleagues in a public exhibition.
Geared mainly toward undergraduates in courses 1 and 4 but open to all.
