This workshop explores the world of structural ice shells for architecture, inspired by Swiss engineer and designer Heinz Isler (1926-2009). Co-taught with Professor Lancelot Coar of the University of Manitoba, this year's one-week course will involve research, experimentation, design, and lots of hands-on building using fabric and frozen water to create incredible forms that are strong, lightweight, and expressive. The week will culminate in the construction and celebration of a large-scale ice shell installation on the MIT campus.
